What it is

Create, schedule, and restore backups of your data with just a few clicks, making complex terminal commands easy.

Real use case example

"A solo developer, working on a small startup, uses Borg UI to set up a weekly backup of their customer database in Amazon S3. First, they go to the Borg UI dashboard, click on 'Create Backup', and select the database. Then, they schedule the backup to run every week. Finally, they test the restore process by simulating a data loss scenario."

Ready-to-paste prompt
borg-ui --config /path/to/config.yaml to start the web UI with a custom configuration
