System backup software question.
What system backup software can you recommend? In the past on Ubuntu I tested Timeshift, and it looks really cool. But the "main problem" is thing, that some options not work in Fedora: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, specifically BTRFS. What does it mean, this is a problem?

How to include /root and /home/user in timeshift snapshots
What I tried is to add "exclude" : [ "+ /home/user1/**", "+ /root/**", "+ /home/user2/**", ], to /etc/timeshift.json as per this post but the files within those folders still aren't included in the backup.

Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux
For me, these traits made restic initially attractive:
- encrypted, chunk-deduped, snapshotted backups
- single Go binary, so I could even backup the binary used to create my backups
- reasonable versioning and release scheme
- I could read, and understand, its design document: https://github.com/restic/restic/blob/master/doc/design.rst
I then just tried using it for a year and never hit any issues with it, so kept going, and now it's 6+ years later.

Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
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.

Duplicity
After Borg, I switched to Restic:
https://restic.net/
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.
