I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

You can use the web ui remotely.

Personally I use it from command line, though, and my only complaint is that it's too easy to start a backup you didn't intend to.. Buut if you're careful about usong the kopia snapshot command then it's fine.

Oh I thought the webui was only for server mode.

I just quickly glanced through the manuals of both restic and kopia. I think my trouble with kopia is that its style feels kind of weird. I'm just not able to wrap my head around it well.

kopia snapshot create /dir is shorter but more confusing than restic -r repo backup /dir
