dotfiles VS others

I'm not sure what specific issues you've had with mutt, but I have mine setup with multiple accounts & have in the past used it for a work account where I had to do IMAP/SMTP auth via oauth token rather than username/password. It's definitely not a super well supported happy path & requires some setup, but it's worked well for me.

- Multiple accounts: I have a per-account config file with the relevant specific (https://github.com/wfleming/dotfiles/tree/arch-linux/home/co...) and use folder hooks to apply those depending on which mailbox I'm viewing (https://github.com/wfleming/dotfiles/blob/arch-linux/home/co...). (Plus a keybinding in each account file to make flipping to the next account easy.)

Like others here, I'm a big fan of restic. I use it to backup to backblaze B2, and have systemd timer units to run it daily. I use it with pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) for secrets management, my wrapper script is at https://github.com/wfleming/dotfiles/blob/arch-linux/home_no... if it's useful for anyone.

Also see Restic's list of Linux backup software. https://github.com/restic/others

There is also https://github.com/restic/others which has some keywords (e.g. is it encrypted, does it do compression) for most FOSS backup solutions. It can be outdated or incomplete for some entries, though.

https://github.com/restic/others is a nice collection of free software links too - you can click through those and see if any are Windows supporting. But I'd personally just go with restic.

Backblaze is an awful piece of software when you look at it from “a backup software” point of view. It’s made pretty, simple, native (or is it Electron now?) - yes. But then it stops there. On top of that if you read there ifs, buts, and gotchas you’d want to stay far away from them.

They’ve downright absurd data deletion/retention and versioning rules.

Besides I do not trust any service that promises to give anything “unlimited” for a fixed cost.

As I usually mention in comments on this topic - I’d strongly urge people to use and support backup tools like borgbackup.org (Vorta is an excellent Borg GUI), restic.net (a GUI is glaringly missing), kopia.io (up and coming; promising; comes with a GUI), for smaller datasets there’s very good but more expansive Tarsnap (not FOSS).

And then there are others - https://github.com/restic/others#list-of-backup-software
