Hi Ron,

the primary reason is space. With -Fc I don't have to store the 10TB 
archive locally. And I don't have to wait for pg_dump to finish. I pipe 
it directly to the "borg create" command which does compression and 
deduplication and sends new chunks to a remote borgbackup server.

Regards,
Dimitris



P.S. please use "Reply-all" when replying, I've missed quite a few
      replies that I found on the list archives. :-)
