• How do I copy data from one HDD to another using Linux Mint?

• Accomplishing What I Want With What I Have

  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.

• FOSS backup software

  You could look at burp. It does support various trust models, where the client can be allowed or disallowed to do manual backups, deleted old ones and such.

• Happy World Backup Day!

  I use https://burp.grke.org/ for linux and Windows and its webgui https://git.ziirish.me/ziirish/burp-ui. Very pleased so far: simple to put in place, dedup. Really happy with this solution. If you want some details, just ask! Source: about 3 years ago
