  • One static binary with no server, agent or database to install first
  • Content-defined chunking means daily backups only transfer what changed
  • The newest backup is a plain mirror you can read without the tool
  • Reverse deltas keep history cheap while the current copy stays instant
  • Command line only; any graphical interface or scheduling comes from third-party projects
  • Still pre-1.0, so the project does not yet guarantee backward compatibility across major versions
  • No client-side encryption
  • Restoring very old versions means replaying many increments
