  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • rsync-time-backup

    Time Machine style backup with rsync.

  • BackupPC (https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/) is pretty nice, but the scheduling might not work exactly how you want it to. If you're willing to go with client software without a controlling server component, restic or duplicacy are worth a look. Here is another cross platform tool that's pretty neat, but again without a server component: https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup

  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  • I'm using restic on the clients and minio on the server. Restic is scheduled hourly with prune policies, so old backups are deleted.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
