[rear-users] rear with Borg on USB

[Sascha Marcel Hacker]

 But if you set up borg, you have to set the borg repo host.
It does not saves the backup on the USB device,it only saves the
environment for rear.

See:
https://github.com/rear/rear/blob/master/usr/share/rear/conf/examples/borg-example.conf

Nice software, quite good for big envirments with many PCs.
I thinks its also nice for little home PC envirments to backup all data.
But in my case my home server is the biggst server in the house and its
manage all my DHCP and DNS settings. (i know not the best solution but very
simple to manage and it save much energy)
If this one is down, i hove no ssh server to recover this maschine.
The only way is to setup a new standalone backup server or every time setup
one pc as server wenn the mainserver is down.
An the other hand the home server is also a backupserver for the windows
maschine with AD and roaming profiles.
