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.
Also, 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".
