Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
I'm using rsnapshot. It's based on rsync. It's fully automated and I make daily and monthly backups backup to my NAS. The biggest benefit of rsnapshot is that it uses hardlinks. So only changed files are backed up. It doesn't have a GUI though, you have to set a configuration file.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
The description sounds like it does largely the same job as rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/). What does yours do differently from rsnapshot?
- Redundancy and bit-rot protection on a single drive

The various scripts I use to back up my home computers using SSH and rsync
His backup rotation algorithm is very close to what rsnapshot does.

Which service to backup your important files ?
rsnapshot for data. ansible [1] for config management no backing up configuration is not needed, just revert configuration changes in ansible and re-apply. Occasional libvirt VM snapshots before risky operations.

Ask HN: How do you manage your important personal documents and other data?
> where do you store and backup your personal data
A RAID array of physical drives in a local PC.
> How do you run your backups?
rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/) driven from cron.
> How do you manage encryption keys, etc?
Stored in files on plural disks plus a printed to paper backup.
> What considerations drove your solution?
Must be 100% under my control -- "someone else's disks" must not ever be the primary backup medium.
