Developer Workstation Backups

• rclone

  963 44,050 9.8 Go

  "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Yandex Files

  

https://rclone.org/ + backblaze b2.

It Works on every desktop and server and takes minimal cpu and memory. Backblaze b2 buckets can be configured to retain overwritten copies, or you can take periodic snapshots within b2.

• BorgBackup

  333 10,594 9.4 Python

  Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  

I like https://www.borgbackup.org/ and you can get a relatively cheap storage plan on rsync.net just for Borg (https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html)

Retrieving backups is a little manual. Perhaps someone has created a nice GUI for it.

• vorta

  Desktop Backup Client for Borg Backup

  

• restic

  357 23,956 9.7 Go

  Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  

Since the only thing I care about is my homedir, I just use restic + s3. Add a bunch of CACHEDIR.TAG files to big dirs I don't want to back up, then just run it regularly, or could set via some type of cron.

• kopia

  224 6,397 9.6 Go

  Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.

  

I too used to use Crashplan! It steadily went downhill over the years though, so I was looking for an alternative.

I ultimately ended up evaluating various options and deciding on Kopia: https://github.com/kopia/kopia -- been using it for the better part of a year and loving it!

It's basically everything I wanted out of the box: content-addressed storage with built-in deduplication, built-in encryption, compression, many supported backends (filesystem, Backblaze B2, other cloud providers, etc...).

I currently take snapshots on a cron every 30 minutes to a triple-replicated GlusterFS cluster, as well as off-site syncs once daily (B2 currently). Because all of the data is encrypted at rest, I don't mind it sitting in a cloud bucket.
