croc VS Duplicacy

This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement.

Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ?

I have used both for a number of years already.

Check out croc, I've been using it for years, and it works pretty great too!

I'm trying to find very specific software.I need CLI(!!!) tool like Croc to share files using P2P, but it's very inconvenient to ask people to install same software as me(Croc in this case). Instead i want to get direct download URL, so anyone can download it just by using browser.

There’s already the excellent [croc](https://github.com/schollz/croc) which I’ve gotten all my friends to install and use.

croc works very well for this purpose: https://github.com/schollz/croc

I have been having great luck with incremental backups with the very similar named Duplicacy https://duplicacy.com/

Pro: No need for a special index database. The chunks are placed in the file system. This explains it in greater detail. Seems to place great emphasis on reliability, which is important for me. Versioning is also supported.

Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule.

I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0].

It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf.

Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region.

Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard drive occasionally that I keep off site.
