Beschreibung

Just wanted to point at another borg related project that could get a bit more love by the borg collective:

borg-import is intended to be used mainly by people switching to borg, so they can convert their past backups into borg repos. as the basic architecture of borg-import is rather generic, it could be also used for other scenarios.

of course borg-import shares some fundamental issues with other "use once" tools: there is no ongoing personal interest, as everybody only needs it once (or few) times (and sometimes that one potential used is solved differently by some quickly hacked own script).

but maybe some borg users who want to contribute and work on some relatively easy problems which do not require in-depth knowledge of borgbackup internals could contribute to borg-import, making it easier for future borg adopters.
