About Vorta
Vorta is a graphical front end for BorgBackup. You set up profiles that pair source folders with a Borg repository and a schedule, and it runs encrypted, compressed and deduplicated backups in the background from the menu bar. Past archives can be browsed, compared and pruned, and single files restored.
A repository can live on a local or external drive, on any server you can reach over SSH, or on BorgBase, a paid Borg hosting service from the same team. The macOS downloads come as separate Apple silicon and Intel disk images that include Borg; the project notes the direct download usually works only on the latest macOS. Mounting an archive as a drive needs macFUSE installed separately.
