Duplicity VS UrBackup

http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ at least can use PGP public keys. I've used it for a long time and not seen any particular reason to change.

There are backup tools with built-in encryption like borg backup or duplicity, these should be fine. If you already have a backup process and it's missing encryption then you should be able to use e.g. age or gpg.

For my family photos (critical, irreplaceable, on plex), I use duplicity which can make use of Amazon Glacier and Deep Archive for really cheap storage (0.00099 /gb /month no joke) with incremental versioning and client side encryption. Long restore time, but perfect for disaster recovery on data that doesn't change much. Want to set up the same for music (which rarely but sometimes changes, e.g. Correcting tags).

And google docs / apple cloud etc. aren't proper backups. They can cancel your account, be inaccessible, or hacked even. There's software like duplicity that can upload encrypted backups to multiple services, which are handy. But in any case, if you're doing cloud backups, do do redundant local backups too. My setup is I've a USB stick tacked onto a Raspberry Pi computer, and use something called borg to do daily backups over SSH.

I have had good success using [Duplicity](http://duplicity.nongnu.org/) via [Duply](https://www.duply.net/) for a few years now. The main point for me is that duplicity directly backs up to many cloud-storage endpoints. I'm using google drive specifically, but it supports a ton of options.

UrBackup https://www.urbackup.org/ is the one that I use for years

If anyone came here looking for good quality, open source and free backup software I recommend UrBackup and Kopia.

Free, open source, maintained regularly: www.urbackup.org

I'm looking at https://www.urbackup.org/

You could have a look at UrBackup. Its a client/server backup solution. Also you could rsync the local backup server too the remote lokation.

I would also recommend UrBackup. In my experience it's extremely reliable. https://github.com/uroni/urbackup_backend

Veeam gets most of the hype these days, but if you don't need a Mac client, UrBackup is a solid option. Full & incremental file and image backups for one machine or your whole network, scheduling, rolling copies, etc.

Kopia does not 'image' your whole machine.

A real shame imaging is the time saving component if a system is not recoverable. People want to get their systems up and running as fast as possible.

A combination of imaging and file back up is the best way to do that. For now I'll stick with http://www.urbackup.org/
