Backupninja Friendly Fork
I've been using Backupninja for long time and it's been stable and good. As I get my hopes up when @lavamind started to maintain things and fixes to some annoying things started to get in. But now development which started has halted to NaN (there is active Merge Request so there is need for this backup solution) for couple or years (last commit one year ago). I have to say I understand this. It's Open Source and people do it in mostly free time. Backupninja as application which has history from 2004 couple years is just blink of an eye but for me it's starting to rotten here and there.
I need to add SystemD (You can hate me now) support as my distro does not include cron in basic installation. As I don't see it getting in a while I made my Fork (If development get back up I'll back-port happily my stuff) and noticed there is several changes I want to have: Vserver removed, import borg fixes and some update to MySQL backup like encryption and every database to own subdir. I'm just telling this if you like to use my experimental version of Backupninja you can find it https://0xacab.org/illuusio/backupninja
I don't have long term plans more than make MySQL handler work as I want and make changes when I find bugs. If you find one or like new feature (as said it's more experimental than official one) you can make Merge Request. Issues can be fixed but more over them I like to have MRs
If official version working for you as it has served me many years this Issue is kind of next to NaN.. just keep on trucking with stable!
