  • Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
    I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android. I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/ I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

  • Duplicity
    After Borg, I switched to Restic: https://restic.net/ AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Duplicity

  • How do you guys backup your linux machines to a NAS?
    I use zbackup which is quite similar in concept to Borg (doesn't offer mountable images tho) with cron jobs such as the bash script below which backs up all the root folders except for selected things like /dev. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Any good software to manage automatic hard drive backups?
    I use zbackup ("globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found in rsync") from a cron job which saves more space than just using links (ie it can recognise moved files, renamed files, and files that are only partially edited). Source: almost 3 years ago
