And to come full circle on this thread, I will point out once again there
is no competition between Ekko and Freezer at this time. Freezer is
file-level backup where Ekko is block-level backup. Anyone familiar with
backups knows these are drastically different types of backups. Those using
block-level backups typically won't be using file-level backups and
vice-versa. That said, even if there is no convergence of Freezer and Ekko
 they can still live side-by-side without any conflict at all.

As of now, Ekko and Freezer teams have started a dialogue and we will
continue to collaborate rather than compete in every way that is reasonable
for both projects.
