thank You for this hint. As far as I understand, this refers to a setup
where borg is running on the remote machine pulling the original data
over sshfs from the client machine to store them in a repository on it's
local disks. This includes the risk that the client's file system
features might not be transferred completely, so the restore might fail.
Did I get it right?

If I set it up the other way, that means borg is running on the client
machine, storing it's local data to the repository at the remote host
using sshfs, is this expected to work flawlessly?
