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.
-
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.

Sharing my quick start sheet for new users, and looking for cloud backup like Arq
I don't know, I only know the tool by name. I myself use Borg for years. If you want a graphical interface, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic there is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the functionality.
-
I installed Arch, and now what?
a good alternative to that would be borg, if you want a slightly easier way to automate then use borgmatic, both available in the official community mirrors.

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Best configuration for bare hypervisor distro FOR DESKTOP VMs
Are you sure you need a full on virtual machine, rather than a system snapshotting tool like Snapper or Timeshift?

I've been using Linux for a week , and i'm starting to like it
I would highly advise installing timeshift for making backups. There have been times where I thought I was doing something benign and I basically screwed something up major. Using timeshift you can easily revert back and it saves you from so much pain
- Cloned my Drive to a larger Driver But can't use the Space
- rsnapshot-like rotation backup tool to integrate in my scripts

Properly backing up a running Linux system
Can't say much about your tar command, but if you did not checked it out already, take a look at Timeshift for system snapshots and rollback of changes. afaik you can just restore a snapshot on a blank drive. as far i see you can backup and restore EFI / boot as well. but never used it myself so can't say much about it.

What are you doing for your backups?
I use backintime to back up files in my home directory, and use Timeshift for backing up system settings (really useful if you're messing around with your grub and fuck something up, speaking from experience).

Some discoveries from investigating the SteamOS recovery image
For casual users, not really any benefit to using btrfs unless you want to use this https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift (and even then you don't need it, it just helps)
- Windows 11 and its forced "telemetry" made me switch to Linux. And I have to say - it's great. So why the hell isn't more people switching? And what's your fav distro?
