Advice for Automated Copying of my Off Grid 6TB Media Hoard :)

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/DataHoarder

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • rclone

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

    rclone is the most efficient way I have found to create mirrors of a source directory

  • Rdiff-backup

    Reverse differential backup tool, over a network or locally.

    Robocopy is great if you don't have access to rsync. If rsync via WSL2 for instance is an option, I'd personally go with rdiffbackup.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • UrBackup

    UrBackup - Client/Server Open Source Network Backup for Windows, MacOS and Linux

    That makes more sense - you could probably squeeze more reliability out of your current setup by incorporating incremental backups; most backup software should be fine running locally and backing up to an external drive on demand. Urbackup is a solid open source option, but there are tons of choices in the backup space.
