Project mention: Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox
Project mention: Ask HN: Open-source Windows 11 backup solutions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-04i use - and recommend - "borgbackup": for example with the "vorta" graphical frontend

Project mention: GitMounter: A FUSE filesystem for Git repositories | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-28The presented idea (one folder per commit, as FUSE fs) seems indeed largely impractical.
But there are good uses for mountable "git like" repos. For example for backup systems.
https://github.com/bup/bup
I've discovered inotify-tools and lsyncd as options and POC proves that it's possible to detect filesystem changes on a shared emptydir in a pod. Now it's just time to truly prove it out.
See the GitHub: https://github.com/wal-e/wal-e
Unmaintained would’ve made more sense to say, but the maintainer choose the words “obsolete” so I took those. :)
Seems to be obsolete due to a lack of interest and contributions.
Two things I want to try this month are:

Project mention: Opportunity for beginners: Some code cleaning in "Back In Time" | /r/opensource | 2023-12-07it is often asked by beginners how and where starting to contribute. As member of the maintenance team of Back In Time (Backup software using rsync in the back, written with Python and Qt) I would like to introduce one of our "good first issues" (#1578).
For starters it has a tendency to paint itself into a corner on ENOSPC situations. You won't even be able to perform a restore if a backup was started but unfinished because it ran out of space. There's this process of "regressing" the repo [0] which must occur before you can do practically anything after an interrupted/failed backup. What this actually must do is undo the partial forward progress, by performing what's effectively a restore of the files that got pushed into the future relative to the rest of the repository, which requires more space. Unless you have/can create free space to do these things, it can become wedged... and if it's a dedicated backup system where you've intentionally filled disks up with restore points, you can find yourself having to throw out backups just to make things functional again - even ability to restore is affected.
That's the most obvious glaring problem, beyond that it's just kind of garbage in terms of the amount of space and time it requires to perform restores. Especially restores of files having many reverse-differential increments leading back to the desired restore point. It can require 2X the file's size in spare space to assemble the desired version, while it iteratively reconstructs all the intermediate versions in arriving at the desired version. Unless someone fixed this since I last had to deal with it, which is possible.
Source: Ages ago I worked for a startup[1] that shipped a backup appliance originally implemented by contractors using rdiff-backup. Writing a replacement that didn't suck but was compatible with rdiff-backup's repos consumed several years of my life...
There are far better options in 2024.

Project mention: Automatic container snapshots? cv4pve or zfs for a small homelab? | /r/Proxmox | 2023-06-23From my research, I can see two options: - Proxmox specific cv4pve-autosnap - generic zfs-auto-snapshot, available in repos

Project mention: zrepl: A one-stop, integrated solution for ZFS replication | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-22I have rather nice experience with ZnapZend https://www.znapzend.org/
Only issue i've found is the fact there is no official Debian repository and i always do forget to recompile it after upgrading Debian :-D
I really like the configuration system integrated in ZFS set/get...
The main disadvantage with pure Restic is that you usually have to end up writing your own shell scripts for some configuration management because Restic itself has none of that.
Fortunately there is https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile to solve that problem.
Project mention: Is It Good Practice to Back Up Data Sets Manually on Cold Storage Externals? | /r/truenas | 2023-12-10I recommend you to get familiar with https://github.com/psy0rz/zfs_autobackup/wiki first and then use the configuration you are happy with in my script.
