Can I ask what you find inadequate about Vorta? I've recently started using it and it seems perfectly functional to me (although it's probably not an app I'd recommend to someone who doesn't already understand borg).

It’s x86 / intel only so runs in emulation mode, the GUI is clunky, confusing and slow, it spews errors every time my machine sleeps and doesn’t make managing exclusions easy.

  Agreed, I use it because I use borgbase for server backups but I wouldn’t recommend it, especially on laptops. The backups stalls every other time after waking up from sleep.

As far as i know, Backups can't run as "root" with Vorta... right? So it's a limited backup.

  There’s no real need to back up root owned files on macOS though, applications are all owned by the user and have their data sandboxed and user container anyway. No files that you’d want to back up, should be owned by root.

    I respectfully disagree... :-) Simple example: `/Library/Keychains/` There are many important folders, not accessible by standard users.

      Ah I see, yeah if you store your secrets in keychain that’s even more of a reason to ensure you have multiple backup locations too.
