Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?

Migrating to openSUSE.
Others have answered your questions well enough, but I'll take on 6. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. If you want to use rsync for backups you can just use a cron job for this. I've used rysnc for years for backups and it worked great and is still a good tool to know. But for backups I now use Borg which is much better as a backup utility and can be scripted. It's a deduplicating archive that can be encrypted which has big advantages over rsync. And there are even more backup programs that beat rsync for sure.

Arch noob
Establishing a backup strategy. I'm using BTRFS with snapper and a pacman hook that creates a new snapshot before each upgrade. With ext4 I used timeshift. Besides that, I save my arch configuration with aconfmgr and my files with borg

Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects
Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code:
https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation.
If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.

To encrypt my system
If you need to encrypt your backups (or even if you don't) I would suggest borgbackup and vorta, it makes differential backups so each one after the first is only the size of the changes mine are roughly 50 MiB each, so its much faster and space efficient than whole backups using something like tar or rsync.

Mounting a remote filesystem over ssh - a story on how I finally managed to backup my phone
Since I know that borg backup it is a pretty solid tool I wanted to give it a try and I ended up choosing Vorta to have a nice GUI experience.

Will kup or bup ever be included in the Fedora repos?
Different UI and backend, but would vorta (borg front end) work?

Path to a free, self-taught education in Computer Science
A bit like me. Got started setting up a webshop for my first startup and had to learn Apache and PHP.
If anyone with similar skills (Python, Docker, Shell) reads this and looks do get started, do check out our Google Summer of Code projects for this year. You'll get paid and can pick any task in this field: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code...

For the developers in this subredsit, how is your overall experience with void linux, and how stable would you say it is?
I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.

selfhosted backup solution?
For the client side, you can use either Vortafor graphical clients, or borgmatic for headless servers. (Or just borg, but borgmatic is better imo)
-
Beware that BorgBackup 2.0 will soon come, breaking compatibility with current repositories and scripts.
Over at Vorta (feature branch) we mostly adjusted to the latest betas. So I expect to have support for both versions, once there is an RC. Borgmatic added support in Oct.

How do you backup your Docker volumes?
We already maintain a UI for Borg, if you're looking for that. It's open source and included in many distros, like Debian and Fedora. Check it out here: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta
