Iโm trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but Iโm curious what other solutions may exist.
Iโm interested in both command-line, and GUI solutions.
Used to use Duplicati but it was buggy and would often need manual intervention to repair corruption. I gave up on it.
Now use Restic to Backblaze B2. Iโve been very happy.
Restic to B2 is made of win.
The quick, change-only backups in a digit executable intrigued me; the ability to mount snapshots to get at, e.g., a single file hooked me. The wide, effortless support for services like BackBlaze made me an advocate.
I back up nightly to a local disk, and twice a week to B2. Everywhere. I have some 6 machines I do this on; one holds the family photos and our music library, and is near a TB by itself. I still pay only a few dollars per month to B2; itโs a great service.
