well, I have done this several times, so yes, you are wrong.

I backup all systems on a borg backup server.
I boot from a usb stick and let borg restore from the backup server.

This can also be done with external hard drive of course. One just needs to
save the encryption keys (if encryption is used).

But I see people here advocating the use of a hammer in all cases and being
rude, only because one has a different opinion, so ... perhaps you try to
learn something new that is more flexible and much better.
And again - it is just my opinion from several years of experience with
borg.
