cppcryptfs VS kopia

If you want selective encryption, rather than full drive encryption, to be less conspicuous: gocryptfs (Linux)/cppcryptfs (Windows).

https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs with dokan and I’ve not had a single issue for a year. I use it with Google drive and iCloud Drive it’s amazing.

There's cppcryptfs & securefs as Cryptomator alternatives too. SiriKali is an option for a GUI that works nicely with them.

hmmm...

I largely use https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs with dropbox?

This would essentially eliminate any possibility of violating any terms of service as far as I can tell?

I'm not too comfortable putting any files on dropbox without some sort of encryption

fwiw, I've found that cppcryptfs is one of the better implementations of that sort though most (if not all) use the same library which seems to choke on certain files once in a while

didn't understand your question but see https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs

Not sure if you can use Google Drive as a folder (I can do that in Linux). If you can then cppcryptfs (Windows version of gocryptfs) would work. I use it in Linux for Dropbox and GDrive.

windows: cppcryptfs: I dont know how package management works (or if it even exists) on windows, best to get the binary from https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs/releases. There's one additional library you will need -- you'll find a link on that page

It says only gocryptfs is supported with the DroidFS, have you ever tried the Windows version? https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs

Yo could try a walk-around though, but not sure how good the cross-compatibility is: gocryptfs for Linux, cppcryptfs for Windows and DroidFS for Android. cppcryptfs and DroidFS are based on gocryptfs. Theoretically, the encrypted files should decryptable cross-OS-wise

I think Kopia would be great for your use case

https://kopia.io/

It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much!

Thanks for the tip on Kopia. Setting it up now, looks perfect.

Kopia - GitHub

I've been happy with: https://kopia.io/

Fairly easy to configure, does snapshots to S3 and has a icon in my tray I can watch :)

Btw, kopia is one fine backup tool. Apparently borgbackup is good too.

Kopia is great, though it's worth noting for folks on Linux: non-UTF-8 paths aren't stored correctly [1] and xattrs aren't stored [2]. While most folks probably won't care about the former, the latter can could cause issues (eg. losing SELinux labels makes it difficult to restore a backup of the root filesystem on distros that use SELinux).

I think Kopia [1] is on its way to be that. I am sticking to Restic for now but it seems like the strongest contender.

I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container. Vorta (and Borg) seemed to work fine, until I wanted to restore an archive and I noticed that my recent snapshots were completely empty. Probably because of a misconfiguration on my end though. But it made me look elsewhere. For me backups should be a fire, test and forget solution.

Recently I made the switch to Kopia [2] which seems to have feature parity with Borg (and Restic [3]). It also has a web UI which is way easier to work with than Vorta. And I can easily view, extract and restore individual files or folders from there. This gave me way more confidence about this solution. The only thing I really miss is that I cannot chose different targets for different paths. For instance, with Borg I was able to backup a partial of my Docker appdata to an external source. And I haven't found a way to do this with Kopia. Besides that I'm pretty happy with this solution and I would recommend it.

There's a few. Off the top of my head
