Seafile VS restic

An alternative for file sharing: Seafile works for me quite well.

https://seafile.com

I personally avoided Seafile because of this. I guess it's up to each person to make their own judgement.

1.https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/issues/350 2. just wonder why we need to signup for the pro version, but free version, (not trying to be rude, would like to learn more about the logic behind it. and comment /tips is appreciated.

Seafile: Selfhosted Mega/Dropbox (I don't know why so many people use the overkilled Nextcloud for that)

It looks like that limit is hard coded

Seafile is a high-performance tool for syncing and sharing files. Features include markdown WYSIWYG editing, Wiki, file labeling, a drive client, privacy protection and more. Our thanks for the recommendation go to jcm4atx.

seafile or filerun are both pretty good options with mobile support.

Next is using a platform-agnostic sync utility such as Resilio, SyncThing, or SeaFile to sync to a designated OneDrive syncer Windows device (VM or some cheap laptop or smth). Personally, I prefer Resilio, but I've used SyncThing for a long while and they're fine if you're not going to also sync to phone (where you'd want selective sync which they don't have).

Restic - GitHub

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
