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
- Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?
-
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.

Why should I switch my file system to btrfs?

The farmer's laptop
Timeshift is one example of a management utility with a GUI that allows you to do that. It comes preinstalled with Manjaro GNOME, at least when installed with btrfs, and saved me many times over the years.

Best way to “clone” or backup my entire Linux OS installation so that way if I break something I have the option to boot with usb and install it again with everything how it was? (Btw I use arch)
Have you considered usibg something like timeshift?
- Time shift completely failed me 😭

Timeshift not creating automatic backups / automatic backups fail

Ubuntu Flavors Decide to Drop Flatpak
I don't mean "the flatpak package" (which, btw, I would not guarantee will remain and be well-maintained in the official repo as opposed to a PPA), I mean "flatpak builds of the flavor's internal packages" like settings and tweak tools. Imagine, for example, if Mint decided to follow suit and said that the only official way to install Timeshift was via snap. Sure, there would be unofficial builds--I myself have it installed from the AUR--but that comes with a certain expectation of additional jank.
What are some alternatives?

timeshift-autosnap-apt - Timeshift auto-snapshot script for Ubuntu and Debian based systems which creates snapshots of your system with timeshift before a package install, remove or upgrade using DPkg::Pre-Invoke hook in apt. Fork of timeshift-autosnap from AUR.
