thanks for keeping the development running. A few questions about
compression: Is there any reason why xz compression is not (yet)
supported? Is the compression done on the client or on the server?

And while I'm asking, are there plans to add a connection scheme that
allows the TCP connection to go from the server (the machine holding
the actual backup) to the client (the machine being backed up)? There
are places with a security policy that says "no connections to the
backup server". One possible solution would be a "ssh
-R10222:localhost:22 client borg create foo" with the repository being
on "localhost:10022" so that the connection from the client to the
server is tunneled through the outgoing ssh session from the server.

Greetings
Marc
