## borgbackup 1.4.3 borg 1.4.x is kind of a refreshed 1.2 with mostly the same features and behavior, but a few bigger changes that could introduce issues and thus were not suitable for just releasing them as 1.2.x, but rather needed some testing first. Long changelog: https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.3/changes.html#version-1-4-3-2025-12-02 Short borg 1.4 overview (from a borg 1.2 perspective): https://www.borgbackup.org/releases/borg-1.4.html ### Installation If you use pip to install this, use: pip install "borgbackup==1.4.3" For other installation methods and more details, please see: https://borgbackup.org/ See also the 00_README.txt file in the assets list below for a description of the available "fat binary" downloads. Discussion: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/discussions/9206 Note: - *-gh binaries are built on GitHub now. These Linux and FreeBSD binaries do support `borg mount`(FUSE filesystem), but the macOS binaries don't (use our brew tap!). - I built and signed the borg-linux-glibc231-x86_64* binaries locally.

Discussion: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/discussions/9120 Note: - *-gh binaries are built on GitHub now. - *-gh binaries do not support `borg mount`(FUSE filesystem) due to a missing library. workaround: use the non-gh binary or borg 1.4.3 or 1.4.1. - I built and signed the borg-linux-glibc231-x86_64* binaries locally. - I built and signed the borg-freebsd-14-x86_64* binaries locally.
