Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
I heard about devbox [1] but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it could suit your needs.
Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time. Windows includes a snapshot feature built-in but I did not really trusted it. These days you can use a "sysprep" tool [2] to create a similar system snapshot. Make a partition and keep everything you don't want deleted on drive D: or something :-).

Have i made my own linux distro? ^_^
For provisioning the machines base image consider FOG it uses PXE and can remotely provision dozens of machines using multicast.

New machines with bloatware.
Same. We set up 1 device how we want to, then use FOG to clone the other devices

How to : Proxmox Windows VM to discard changes after reboot
With standard computers, I usually deploy something like the fog project and automate the process over pxe with scheduled reboots. I guess you could do that as well with your VMs but that seems overkill.
-
Best procedure to run a small computer lab.
you could setup a PXE server and automate installs. you could also clone them and reapply the image as needed. https://fogproject.org/ or lookup CloneZilla both are open source

Can you auto-wipe to base image without domain?
Microsoft used to have a free tool called SteadyState to do this, but it's been discontinued for a while. It took a different approach of undoing changes rather than restoring from image but it worked great with Kiosk mode. There are remote management tools that can wipe and reimage managed machines, most of them don't require an AD domain. As an example FOG Project.

Duplicity
I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

What do you use for VPS backup? Would improved borg setup - pull mode - be enough? Or, do you use something else?
Currently, I'm auto-backing it up with borg (push mode) through wireguard tunnel to NAS behind ISP's CGNAT. The borg takes care of deduplication in SQL file, so incremental update (even in append-only mode) is very small for PostgreSQL dump.

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).
Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?

disc space is not freeing
You could use borgbackup.
- My deduplication solution written in Rust beats everything else: casync, borg...
