Why do you prefer [Borg] over [git-lfs]/[git-annex]?

• GitHub LFS has a 2GB limit on file size. This never works with large projects like video productions.
• git-annex uses symlinks to manage annexed files. This doesn't work well on Windows.

So my conclusion at the moment is that Borg is the best backup software for mid/large-sized personal projects.
