BorgMate is a cross-platform desktop app that puts a modern interface on BorgBackup — the deduplicating archiver trusted by sysadmins worldwide.
Windows is supported through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
All the power of BorgBackup, none of the command-line complexity.
Create, open, and manage local and remote borg repositories. Full SSH support with passphrase-protected key handling.
Run backups manually or set up automatic schedules — daily, weekly, monthly, or every N hours. Missed backups run on startup.
Browse archive file trees, compare changes between snapshots, and restore individual files or entire archives.
Supports all borg encryption modes. Passphrases stored in your OS keychain — never in config files.
Real-time progress with percentage, ETA, speed, and elapsed time. Cancel any operation at any time. OS notifications on completion.
Runs natively on macOS, Windows (via WSL), and Linux. Built with .NET and Avalonia UI — no Electron, no Python.
Install BorgBackup via your package manager and download BorgMate. It detects borg automatically.
Create a new borg repository or open an existing one — local path or remote SSH server. Add source folders and set a schedule.
Click Backup and watch the progress. BorgMate handles deduplication, compression, encryption, and retry on transient errors.
Browse archive contents, compare changes between snapshots, and restore files or entire archives when you need them.
No analytics, no crash reporting, no usage metrics. BorgMate does not phone home.
Your files go only to the backup destination you configure. No cloud relay, no intermediary, no account.
Passphrases stored in your OS keychain. Never in config files, never in logs.
