    I use borg with borgmatic. I just back up / (which includes home) and exclude some folders I don’t want (like /mnt or /tmp).

    It does the same as you just said.

    I have 20 borg snapshots of my nearly full 1tb drive which takes about 400gb of space on my NAS.

    I do it at the file structure level, not at the block device level as the article suggests. Why would I want to back it up at the block device level instead?
