It is an issue of trust for something as important as a backup tool.

Duplicacy sounds great but it has 6 [0] contributors and Borg has 107 [1]. It's obvious which one has more eyes on it.

Plus I can apt-get install borgbackup / apt-get upgrade which adds another level of trust.

We just released the source code less than 2 months ago. The difference in contributor counts may not be this big in one or two years from now.
