Just this output:

Using a pure-python msgpack! This will result in lower performance.

As you use a "apk" package, I suspect this means a pre-packaged borg made by some alpine package maintainer and that this package depends on a pre-packaged (python-)msgpack package made by some (other?) alpine package maintainer.

The warning means that the latter (msgpack) is not packaged correctly (the C-based compiled code is missing and if falls back to the pure python code).

So, this is not a borgbackup, but a alpine packaging issue.

Also, there is borgbackup 1.1.9 (just saying).

Yeah, I figured as much - not sure where to reach the alpine package maintainer, and was hoping maybe he might be is hanging out here.

ThomasWaldmann commented 5 years ago

Isn't there some packaging metadata or web site where you can find the contact?

DannyBen commented 5 years ago

I'm on it. The place to report is in the global alpine linux bug tracker.

Waiting for my confirmation email, and will open an issue.

ThomasWaldmann commented 5 years ago

@DannyBen besides including the compiled stuff, see borg's setup.py, msgpack needs to satisfy the requirements given there - latest version won't work for borg 1.1.x.
