So you are borg’ing a repo into a repo? I am planning on simply rsync’ing
the borg directory from one external HDD to another. Hopefully SMR can cope
with this adequatly.

And you are storing several machines into a single repo? The docs say this
is not supported officially. But I have one repo each for /, /home and data
for both my PC and laptop. Using a wrapper script, I create snapshots that
are named $HOSTNAME_$DATE in each repo.

And thanks to the cache, a new snapshots usually is done very fast. But for
a yet unknown reason, sometimes Borg re-hashes all files, even though I
didn’t touch the cache. In that case it takes 2½ hours to go through my
video directory.
