    It has a GUI and is super easy to use and configure for end users, whereas Borg is aimed at technical people who know their way around the CLI.

    Duplicati demands the use of a 3rd party online storage service. Borg Backup does not.

    While this provides for "off site" backup, it also means your data is in lonesome else's hands, thus adding additional security concerns. Also, most such services have subscription fees that can become costly depending upon the amount of data to be stored.

    Has a UI a performant deduplication with multiple compression methods, a way to mount backups on different platforms (a must for me), scripts, and code quality, one of the best currently.
