BorgBackup 2 has no server-side append-only anymore
I maintain my incremental backup and handle the rotation with a shell script (bontmia) based on rsync with `--link-dest` (it creates hard links for unchanged files from the last backup). I've been using this on top of cryptsetup/luks/ext4 or xfs for > 10 years.
This is the tool I use: https://github.com/hcartiaux/bontmia
It's forked from an old project which is not online anymore, I've fixed a few bugs and cleaned the code over the years.
