• DwarFS – The Deduplicating Warp-Speed Advanced Read-Only File System

  I think Kopia would be great for your use case https://kopia.io/ It has a great system to snapshot files but only store data if it's changed. I use it in an environment where I can't use something like zfs to snapshot data because I don't have the ability to make decisions about what filesystem we're using. It's been amazing, love it so much! - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• I Backup

  I've been happy with: https://kopia.io/ Fairly easy to configure, does snapshots to S3 and has a icon in my tray I can watch :). - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Very strange behavior/bug - devices stuck together

  Btw, kopia is one fine backup tool. Apparently borgbackup is good too. Source: 5 months ago

• Borgbase backups have been unavailable for 3 days – recovery is at 26%

  I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container. Vorta (and Borg) seemed to work fine, until I wanted to restore an archive and I noticed that my recent snapshots were completely empty. Probably because of a misconfiguration on my end though. But it made me look elsewhere. For me backups should be a fire, test and forget solution. Recently I made the switch to Kopia [2] which seems to... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Self-hosted backup manager with web UI?

  Check kopia - https://kopia.io/ Duplicati was nice for me until my first Complete DR test.... Then I trash it , and burn it with fire.... Other comments already pint you to why so I will not extend to it.... Source: 10 months ago

• About Scripts for Btrfs Maintenance

  Surely this incident highlights the importance of backups, right? 5 TB is even a manageable amount of data. I also used to run btrfs in btrfs-RAID10 configuration until apparently a flapping SATA link and fsck attempts were able to break the fs completely. Full system backups were great that day. I run https://kopia.io/ nowadays every three hours during day time and I've been quite happy with it. Nowadays I run... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Offsite data backups at a friend's house - do I just need rsync or is there something superior?

  IMO the easiest solution would be to run in friend's home a single executable file SFTPgo (that works on Linux, Windows, FreeBSD...) by exposing SFTP channel to friend's storage and on client (OP) side use kopia (that also works on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD...) that will do effective backup utilizing encryption, compression, content deduplication, maintain versioned incremental file's copies and upload over SFTP to...

• PSA: Use version control and take backups!

  I'm using kopia because it works well on windows and has a GUI to make configuring it easier, and I'm backing up to B2 because it's cheap and reliable. Manually setting up the ignore lists is annoying and can take some time, as is choosing what you want/need backed up (and you need to check your backups occasionally to make sure that they're actually working and not corrupted), but it's saved me a couple times.

• Smartli Backup - Secure and Easy Data Backup Solution

  If anyone came here looking for good quality, open source and free backup software I recommend UrBackup and Kopia. Source: 11 months ago

• Backup Software to backup to S3

  Maybe look into Kopia. It supports backing up to S3 storage and also does encrypt your backups before uploading. In case you're planning to backup to AWS checkout backblaze, they're much cheaper. Source: 12 months ago

• how do you do your backups

  Kopia is OK (and is in the software store). I've used Duplicacy, Restic and Borg. All work fine. Source: 12 months ago

• Could I backup to B2 Cloud with a similar experience as Backblaze Personal?

  I use restic, which is Command-line, but I’ve just started playing with Kopia https://kopia.io/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Filezilla to iDrive from Debian PC

  Stuff like kopia (https://kopia.io/) or rclone (https://rclone.org/install/) should do it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best HDD storage setup

  SnapRaid is good, but the only drawback it don't care about deduplication, so in your case with option 4 you can merge data drives (and increase pool in a future) but use kopia (or restic/borg) to backup individually each drive to the third drive that will deduplicated, compressed and encrypted, so all your disks will be independent and easy to replace. With the only 4th option you would have real backup with... Source: about 1 year ago

• I manually take regular backups of my personal data, how do I tell my computer to delete files from my older backup folder only if they are identical (in both file path and contents) to the new file?

  Use something like https://kopia.io/ (free/opensource) then you can. Source: about 1 year ago

• 2 portable (external) SSD as one cloud storage, possible?

  You don't really need real RAID1 at home unless your uptime is very critical. Get extra any cheap (even SMR is Ok) as a backup drive and use kopia for backup. It can do compression, deduplication, take care about file's integrity and encryption as well supports multiple backend. It just one single binary without dependencies that automatically will managed backup policies (save as many snapshots as you need... Source: about 1 year ago

• File corruption still an issue?

  Those backups themselves are encrypted before being stored in the cloud. I personally use Arq, but any modern backup solution will probably work, like Borg, Restic, Duplicacy or even Kopia if you’re feeling brave :-). Source: about 1 year ago

• Docker doesn't seem to launch my containers.

  I thought it was weird because the container-port 52516 in the logs was very familiar, as it is the port I use to run a backup sofware named Kopia. Source: about 1 year ago
