Of course, as with all backups, you should make sure to run a test recovery. I ran into a situation with Borg where the encoding of one of my filenames caused that file and anything else behind it in the backup to be unrecoverable. Or at least I was never able to find a way to recover it. I gave it the old college try to recover, using the different tools to try to access it (the fuse mount, the CLI), I tried all sorts of different settings for my locale. At the time I had at least 2 other backups of that so eventually I recovered from my primary backup. I was testing out Borg at the time. I've ended up using Restic more recently, and it seems to be fine. Uses kind of a lot of memory in some situations though. Small AWS instances have issues. My primary backups still go via rsync though.
