Does anyone use zbackup to compress your backups?
I've been doing semi-regular backups with mintbackup, but it's gotten to the point where my backups are filling up the drive even when I gzip them individually. Because these backups contain a bunch of the same files over and over again, I looked for a way to de-duplicate the backups and I landed on zbackup. It looks like it does what I want and my tests are promising, but I wanted to know if there were any caveats or if there are any better solutions out there.

How do you guys backup your linux machines to a NAS?
I use zbackup which is quite similar in concept to Borg (doesn't offer mountable images tho) with cron jobs such as the bash script below which backs up all the root folders except for selected things like /dev
-
Any good software to manage automatic hard drive backups?
I use zbackup ("globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found in rsync") from a cron job which saves more space than just using links (ie it can recognise moved files, renamed files, and files that are only partially edited).

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.
