Are you using the virtualenv method recommended by the documentation? By default, virtualenvs do not get access to packages that might have been installed by the OS package manager. You can pass the --system-site-packages to the virtualenv creation command to make those packages available in the virtualenv. Alternatively, you can to recompile the borgbackup dependencies in the virtualenv by following the instructions at https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#git-installation. This may require you to install several other packages, as may be required to compile and modules written in C. -- regards, kushal
