Hi,

thanks for this unofficial releases of Borg. It helped me to use the same backup software on both Windows and Linux computers.

As Borg 1.1.x has come out for a while and contains a log of new features / bug fixes. Would you please make a Windows installer for 1.1.x branch?

Also, if possible, could you add a general guide on how to generate a standalone installer from source tarball? So we could try creating one ourselves if you do not have time to continuing releasing Windows installers. :-)

+1 I have the same two questions.

Thanks for creating these releases

Based on the work of @billyc I made a fork, added the package gcc-g++ to the runtime packages of cygwin and then version 1.1.2 works for me.

Because of the added package gcc-g++ the installer grows to ~100 MB, but I didn't get BorgBackup to work under Windows without it.

You can download the installer from

https://github.com/DanielSzoska/borg-cygwin/releases

or build your own by cloning

install NSIS and running install.bat. It was very easy for me. See README.md for details.
