Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: Has anyone successfully recovered photos from a broken Android phone?
Similar here. Termux with restic, so it does deduplication and encryption and such (also compression since a few months but haven't turned it on yet).
On local laptop: run https://github.com/restic/rest-server/ to accept the incoming data, then (if 1234 is the port that rest-server runs on):
user@laptop:~$ ssh -R 1234:localhost:1234 root@phone

How do you guys do backups?
I use restic to a cloud storage provider and restic-server to another nas. I used hyperbackup for a long time but proved to not be flexible enough and I wanted to get away from a proprietary backup that could only be restored on another Synology.

Need help by choosing the right backup-solution... Is there one recommended central tool that can backup the data from my servers?
Have a look at restic and restic-rest-server.

Onpremise cluster backup microk8s
Min.io is just one of the supported storage backends. If you prefer, the restic rest server seems to be supported and might be easier to host. https://github.com/restic/rest-server

Restic 0.13.0
This one is quite unclear:
> We have added checksums for various backends so data uploaded to a backend can be checked there.
What do you mean checksums? All data is already stored in files with as filename the sha256sum of the contents, so clearly it's all already checksummed and can be verified right?
Looking into the changelog entry[1], this is about verifying the integrity upon uploading:
> The verification works by informing the backend about the expected hash of the uploaded file. The backend then verifies the upload and thereby rules out any data corruption during upload. \n\n [...] besides integrity checking for uploads [this] also means that restic can now be used to store backups in S3 buckets which have Object Lock enabled.
Object lock is mentioned in passing (and only in this more detailed info) but this is a big one. S3 docs:
> Object Lock can help prevent objects from being deleted or overwritten for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely.
i.e. ransomware protection. Good luck wiping backups if your backup host refuses to overwrite or delete the files. And you know the files are good because they match their hash.
Extortion is still a thing, but if people would use this, it more-or-less wipes out the attack vector of ransomware. The only risk is if the attacker is in your systems long enough to outlast your retention period. Did anyone say "test your backups"?
For self-hosting, restic has a custom back-end called rest-server[2] for that which supports a so-called "append-only mode" (no overwriting or deleting). I worked on the docs for this[3] together with rawtaz and MichaelEischer to make this more secure, because eventually, of course, your disks are full or you want to stop paying for legacy data on S3, and an attacker could have added dummy backups to fool your automatic removal script into thinking it needs to leave only the dummy backups. Using the right retention options, this attack cannot happen.
Others are doing some pretty cool stuff in the backup sphere as well, e.g. bupstash[4] has public key encryption so you don't need to have the decryption keys as a backup client.

Restic: Backups Done Right
The append-only mode can be implemented using https://github.com/restic/rest-server or services like rsync.net that offer read-only zfs snapshots. Doesnβt solve the asymmetric crypto of course.

What's something self hosted everyone needs to run ?
But how is that better than running the REST server which is also an HTTP-based API? Or is it? I suspect the answer is going to be system dependent but I am curious.

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?
