`Norg` is a simple, portable, orchestration tool for the [BorgBackup](https://borgbackup.com) and [Restic](https://restic.net) 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](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Borg) as the borg backup utility does. Sometimes I feel my code has elements of inexperience but loads of potential... which reminded me of [Nog](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Nog).
|
|
So, simply put, Norg could also be a portmanteau of "Borg" and "Nog".
