rsnapshot

Burp

I use dirvish a text based cron enabled rsync front end. Read dirvish.org for details about it.

I use this to clone and hold time based backups to external disks which I can verify or use offsite.

Rock solid for years.

If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.

I’ve recently started using proxmox -backup-client. Works well. Goes to my backup server along with my vm image backups. Works nicely with full deducing and such. Quite good savings if you are backing up multiple machines.

I the. Rsync this up to cloud once a day.

At this moment I use too many tools.

For user data on my PC and on home server I mostly use Duplicacy. It is fast and efficient. All data backed up locally on NAS box over SFTP, and a subset of that data is backed up to S3 cloud storage.

I have a Mac, this one is using TimeMachine, storing data on NAS, then it's synced to S3 cloud storage one a day.

And on top of that VMs and containers from home server are backed up by Proxmox built in tool to NAS. These mostly exclude user data.

An external hard drive works 100%. And relying on .dotfiles to redownload the whole thing back.

...I mean, it takes like less than 3 minutes to redownload and 5 reconfiguring everything manually, so eh.

Restic in the homelab and Veeam at work. I’m pretty happy with both!

I use Raspberry Pi 4 with connected external HDD and installed Nextcloud

Restic (local repo) which I sync onto a Hetzner Storagebox using rclone.

Vorta (Borg GUI). It's simple to use.

i simply use freefilesync

@dustyData I have hundreds of thousands of files that need to be backed up locally and in the cloud. I use either Vorta or Pika. Both are interfaces for Borg. Easy to use and their deduplication feature manages to save a lot of diskspace. I tried so many backup solutions and none worked as reliably.

I use Pika and Timeshift.

rsync (laptop -> external HDD, workstation -> dedicated backup HDD)
Syncthing (laptop <-> desktop)

A hand-made combination of tar, rsync and rclone, to a set of portable drives and remote systems.

After having suffering the breakage of computers since the 80's, I want to have the easiest way of restoring backups as possible.

Well it was duplicati, until it pulled this bullshit on me. I had a critical local failure of my data a month ago, 2.8TB lost. Pulled the backup off AWS S3 with my linux server, asked Duplicati to restore it, and it's failed 4 times for random reasons, taking a week to get there each time. Once I can get this backup to finally restore, I'm moving over to Duplicity.

I have no relevant data locally. My Documents is a symlink to a Nextcloud directory running on my Synology NAS on a RAID1 that backups to cloud storage via one of their tools (forgot which one).

I never liked having to backup working machines. If it breaks I'm fine with having to install again. I won't lose data though.

Deja Dup backs my local machines to my Synology NAS. That uses Hyper-backup to send everything to Dropbox.

I just use MegaSync, which backsup my config folder and documents folder.

On phone, I use syncthing to backup to home server (I never knew syncthing can backup over WAN), then synced to MegaSync. I also keep all the files on MegaSync on my server just in case megasync suddenly goes down one day.

I use back in time. It's served me well for quite a few years.
