  Bash Utility for Creating Stage 4 Tarballs

Make a Stage4 tarball. You can do it periodically as significant changes happen. I have restored my system from these a few times. The downside is each Stage4 is a full backup so it takes up a lot of space. I only make them periodically. I have a script that I have set to an alias to make one of these whenever I feel the need (maybe twice a year).

  Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  

For backups, I'm quite happy with BorgBackup. It takes care of encryption, deduplication and compression before storing the backups on a remote machine.
