Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale
Two things I want to try this month are:

- Backup software that continuously monitors changes but runs only once a month

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.

It's been a while but I think rsnapshot is what you're looking for.

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 fastest rm command and one of the fastest cp commands
- Do you perform offline backups for your NAS?
- Question: Backups anti ransomware

Restic: Backups Done Right
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.

Encrypt channel.backup?
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.

What is everyone using to backup their multiple TB's of data?
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).

What do you wish you knew before starting grad school?
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.
- [QUESTION] Simple bash script, using 'expect', to download backups off a server, will connect and only dl 10-15mb of the 10gb file before exiting. Help?

Happy World Backup Day!
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.
