Ask HN: What are your peronsal data backup and sync setups? (2025)
Used to be restic[1], but I switched to kopia[2]. For Android I just sync /storage/emulated/0/ with syncthing. All devices are backed up to a home server. Home server backups go to Backblaze (but any S3-compatible storage would do).

BorgBackup 2 has no server-side append-only anymore
For anyone looking to migrate off borg because of this, append-only is available in restic, but only with the rest-server backend:
https://github.com/restic/restic
https://github.com/restic/rest-server
which has to be started with --append-only. I use this systemd unit:
[Unit] - Ask HN: What project do you donate to?
-
Hold My Data
Run restic to backup an entire filesystem or a subset of it, and upload to a remote S3-compatible storage.

Backblaze seemingly does not support files greater than 1 TB
Restic is my personal favorite for straightforward file backups. It's simple and well-designed, integrates with rclone meaning it supports any cloud storage service you can imagine, and has a decently large community surrounding it.

Restic: Backups Done Right
Afaik not yet, there was some discussion here: https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/804
- What do people do with thier pictures?
-
Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux
For me, these traits made restic initially attractive:
- encrypted, chunk-deduped, snapshotted backups
- single Go binary, so I could even backup the binary used to create my backups
- reasonable versioning and release scheme
- I could read, and understand, its design document: https://github.com/restic/restic/blob/master/doc/design.rst
I then just tried using it for a year and never hit any issues with it, so kept going, and now it's 6+ years later.
What are some alternatives?
bontmia - Bontmia (Backup Over Network To Multiple Incremental Archives)
BorgBackup - Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.
CPython - The Python programming language
Duplicati - Store securely encrypted backups in the cloud!
Rsnapshot - a tool for backing up your data using rsync (if you want to get help, use https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rsnapshot-discuss)
Duplicity - Unnoficial fork of Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup
