is a simple, portable, orchestration tool for the BorgBackup and Restic backup utilities.
This website serves as a point of reference for both documentation and
assistance when using the norg
backup utilitiy.

Naming. Why "Norg"?
Norg is short for "Nice Borg" - a way to nicely handle borg based backups.
Also, I'm a Star Trek fan so obviously I wanted to keep something in line with the
Borg pseudo-species as the borg backup utility does. Sometimes I feel my code has elements of inexperience but loads of potential... which reminded me of Nog.
So, simply put, Norg could also be a portmanteau of "Borg" and "Nog".
