rdiff-backup VS Arq

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

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

I use Arq 7 on macOS to backup to various network, cloud and physical drives. This is able to mount network volumes both as backup sources and destinations, in addition to connected physical drives (internal or external). Source: 11 months ago

Wasabi.com is an Amazon S3-alike that I use with the arqbackup.com client for remotely backing up my machines. Wasabi offers a nice desktop client for what looks like Dropbox-like capability. Haven't dug into that yet either. Source: over 1 year ago

The only way to resolve is to log in to Arq account at arqbackup.com , deactivate the licence, then go back into the Arq app and rekey the (same) licence. The app starts to work immediately fine. Source: over 1 year ago

I use Storj (with Arq) and it works flawlessly. It's not my primary repository (still testing it) but it's one of a few I use to backup to.

I use Storj and host a node (I get it, might not be what you're after). If it helps, my node is in a datacenter, not in my home/SOHO. I'm using Arq to send data up to Storj on my / other's machines. Always around to help, if needed. Source: almost 2 years ago
