I have been using borg for a while and it has been a joy. But I was under the impression that you had to trust the server if you aren't mounting the remote repo, but are running borg on the server too (like the author). Before commenting that here, I had a quick read of the docs.
Turns out, I was wrong! [1]
> If you use encryption, all data is encrypted on the client before being written to the repository. This means that an attacker who manages to compromise the host containing an encrypted repository will not be able to access any of the data, even while the backup is being made.
borg is even more amazing than I thought.
