There's nothing to be afraid of, just to read the borgbackup doc and

Linux is not windows, if you don't involve yourself into it, you'll
mostly fail at one moment or another, the later the worse ; it's
philosophy is to first document yourself, now would be a good moment to
do so…

There's something weird as almost each and every distro have
borgbackup available as a package.
