bupstash VS tarsnap

bupstash supports it, however I didn't try it out

bupstash

I tried a few backup tools and https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash is my favorite by far but it's not that well known.

It was pretty fast already and recently got multithread support. It has been the only thing usable for backing up a few TB in a raspberry for performance reasons.

Keep in mind it's relatively new and the author does not yet recommend to use in production as the only backup solution.

bupstash (rust) - https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash

The authors bupstash[1] tool looks interesting.

I see there's an issue made for Windows support, how is that with Rust?

Unless it's doing low-level stuff like directory monitoring I assumed Rust would be quite portable?

Benchmarking my backup tool that was written in rust: https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash . Rust did not disappoint when it comes to performance, it seems to beat restic by a factor of 2x-200x depending on the benchmark.

Tarsnap for configs and critical stuff (password database, emails).

Someone does :)

Colin Percival's tarsnap

In past threads, people have mentioned enjoying my Tarsnap (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap) code. I personally think that the spiped (https://github.com/Tarsnap/spiped) code is even better.

I prefer Vorta myself ( https://github.com/borgbase/vorta ) as it also has incremental and encrypted backups, as well as being a fraction of the price, but tarsnap seems to still be in very-slow development: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap , so I'd say from a quick look it's still trustworthy.

Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.

Not foolish! The Tarsnap client code is open source, but the license file prohibits anyone from using the code: https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap/blob/master/COPYING

Yes. For the curious,
