rdiff-backup VS Duplicacy

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

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

Not to be confused with Duplicati [1] or Duplicacy [2]. There are too many backup programs whose names start with 'Duplic'. [1] https://www.duplicati.com/ [2] https://duplicacy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

My recommendation would be Duplicacy [0]. Code is also on GitHub [1]. It has a paid GUI version, $20 for the first year and $5 for subsequent years with discounts for multiple machines [2]. At least once they've run a promotion for a very cheap lifetime license. Use it just from the CLI is free. My setup is pretty simple, Syncthing and Duplicacy (GUI version) run in a docker container on my home server. Everything... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0]. It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf. Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region. Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
