Duplicity Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Are small ceph clusters viable?

  Overbuilt and OTT? Sure... But this works fantastically for my use case. I have current backups of everything except my media library because of the size of it; my VM's are all backed up to my Synology nightly using Backy2, my application data gets dumped to that same Synology NAS nightly as well, and all of that also gets synced to Glacier deep storage once a week using Duplicity. I'm going to be adding a new ZFS... Source: 11 months ago

• reposting help with bash script

  Here are a couple of projects that implement what you seem to be trying to do: https://duplicity.gitlab.io , https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html# . You could either use them or just look at the scripts for ideas Writing your own script is a great exercise but a robust, historical and conveniently accessible backup system is more complicated. (I personally use rsnapshot to an encrypted drive... Source: over 1 year ago

• Restic: Backups Done Right

  Http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ at least can use PGP public keys. I've used it for a long time and not seen any particular reason to change. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Encrypt channel.backup?

  There are backup tools with built-in encryption like borg backup or duplicity, these should be fine. If you already have a backup process and it's missing encryption then you should be able to use e.g. Age or gpg. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is everyone using to backup their multiple TB's of data?

  For my family photos (critical, irreplaceable, on plex), I use duplicity which can make use of Amazon Glacier and Deep Archive for really cheap storage (0.00099 /gb /month no joke) with incremental versioning and client side encryption. Long restore time, but perfect for disaster recovery on data that doesn't change much. Want to set up the same for music (which rarely but sometimes changes, e.g. Correcting tags).

• What do you wish you knew before starting grad school?

  And google docs / apple cloud etc. aren't proper backups. They can cancel your account, be inaccessible, or hacked even. There's software like duplicity that can upload encrypted backups to multiple services, which are handy. But in any case, if you're doing cloud backups, do do redundant local backups too. My setup is I've a USB stick tacked onto a Raspberry Pi computer, and use something called borg to do daily... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Happy World Backup Day!

  I have had good success using [Duplicity](http://duplicity.nongnu.org/) via [Duply](https://www.duply.net/) for a few years now. The main point for me is that duplicity directly backs up to many cloud-storage endpoints. I'm using google drive specifically, but it supports a ton of options. Source: about 3 years ago
