Opportunity for beginners: Some code cleaning in "Back In Time"
it is often asked by beginners how and where starting to contribute. As member of the maintenance team of Back In Time (Backup software using rsync in the back, written with Python and Qt) I would like to introduce one of our "good first issues" (#1578).

Free software project "Back In Time" requests for translation
I'm member of the upstream maintenance team of Back In Time a rsync-based backup software. No one gets payed. No company behind hit. Even the maintainers and developers are volunteers.

Why is contributing soo hard
Back In Time is a round about 15 years old backup software using rsync in the back. I'm part of the 3rd generation maintenance team there. A lot of work in investigating and fixing issues, understanding, documenting and refactoring old code.

[English -> Portuguese EU / Brazil] Text about attracting translators to a FOSS project
This request is related to an Open Source project named Back In Time. Everyone there works voluntarily and unpaid.

Is it normal practice in Github for a valid issue to be closed if the Dev can't work on it at the moment?
In my own project we do it more transparent. We close if there is a good reason for it. We don't close just because no one is working on something. If there are no resources to work in it now but it seems important we keep it open until it is fixed. We do use milestones and priority labels to give the users an idea about our plans.

Free Software project "Back In Time" requests for translators
I'm member of the maintenance team of Back In Time a rsync-based backup software.
Most of the strings are form two past developers (the founder and the past maintainer). Since last summer we took over the project and try to clean things up. Some of the source strings just got a review from a linguist and he also mentioned about that exclamation marks. But he kind of stopped at some point because it was to much. ;)
Currently the translation is locked because of maintenance issues and an open PR offering review of original English strings.
Great and thanks. Feel free to ask further questions in the Issues section of our project or the bit-dev.python.org mailing list. Of course you can contact me directly here.

Date of "069 17 - 'Back In Time' Backup Software for Linux"
I'm interested in that topic because I'm member of the maintenance team of Back In Time, the software discussed in that video. The version in video is 0.9, today Back In Time reached 1.3.3. Also interesting is that I'm the third generation of maintainers to that project. I'm not sure but 0.9 there was the fist maintainer and founder involved only.

Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while
Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).
I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).
So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

-
KBackup vs rsync?
For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

Suggestions for Incremental Backup Software
Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.

BorgBackup 1.2.4 released
For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.

Server lost power, world not loading correctly
I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.

Any advice/best practices for how to backup emails of Linux-based mail server
To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.
