Kopia VS rdiff-backup

I think Kopia would be great for your use case https://kopia.io/ It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

I've been happy with: https://kopia.io/ Fairly easy to configure, does snapshots to S3 and has a icon in my tray I can watch :). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Btw, kopia is one fine backup tool. Apparently borgbackup is good too. Source: 6 months ago

I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container. Vorta (and Borg) seemed to work fine, until I wanted to restore an archive and I noticed that my recent snapshots were completely empty. Probably because of a misconfiguration on my end though.

Rdiff-backup - close to what you do currently but at least provides versioning. Based on rsync. Source: over 1 year ago

As in just a copy of your files? This I would barely consider a backup, more of just a mirror from a point in time. What're you missing by doing this? Versions of files, deduplication, and encryption (last one being very important for the best kind of backups, which should be off-site). Just because it's not files doesn't mean it's proprietary. Proprietary would mean secret and undocumented. There are many great... Source: over 1 year ago

Rdiff Backup - Reverse differential backups that uses rsync, linking, and can tunnel via ssh. You get a full current backup with increments available to restore any version of the file with minimal storage space used. Source: over 1 year ago

Borg is great. we've been using it for the past 3 years to archive hundreds of file-level backups of servers, database dumps and VM images. Average size of each borg repo is few GB but there are few outliers up to few hundreds of GB. Borg replaced https://rdiff-backup.net/ for us and gave:. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

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. Source: over 1 year ago
