  • None of those programs verifies integrity. Borg deduplicates, and optionally encrypts data. Restic is a front end for rsync, which only offers incremental back up. Meaning, restic/rsync compares your source and destination directories, and if the data are identical it does nothing, but if there are any changes it will upload only that changed data. None of the apps care what the data are, you can backup gibberish and they will happily put it another place for you.













  • Yes, I almost always do this. If the drive with your root partition fails, or you accidentally break your install, your home partition can be easily mounted again after a fix/re-install. Also if you have ssd’s this will break up the write cycles between the drives and extend the drive life. And it so makes cloning the drive easier if you come across a scenario where that needs to happen. I’m sure others have their own reasons they will gladly lait for you. Good luck!
