Kopia Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Archival Storage

  Regarding the first two points, maybe Kopia [0] come close. It has both GUI and a CLI. For the GUI, it saves your backup key for you (although I have to admit I didn't check how much securely stored it is), but you still have to keep a copy yourself in a password manager or similar in case you need to access your backup from some other machine. AFAIK, for the CLI you are completely on your own regarding secrets... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Why Docker Compose Falls Short as Self-Hosting Scales

  For #2 I use https://kopia.io/ and upload to Backblaze b3 (S3 api). - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Restic: Backups Done Right

  Been using Restic for a while but I was wondering how does it compare to: - Rustic https://rustic.cli.rs - Kopia https://kopia.io. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux

  This was basically one big reason why I went with https://kopia.io . The other might have been its native S3 support. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Timeshift: System Restore Tool for Linux

  I used to use restic with scripting, then I discovered resticprofile, and swiftly replace all my scripts with it. https://github.com/creativeprojects/resticprofile. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• 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 / about 1 year ago

  Btw, kopia is one fine backup tool. Apparently borgbackup is good too. Source: over 1 year 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 / almost 2 years 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: almost 2 years 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 / almost 2 years 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.

• Filezilla to iDrive from Debian PC

  Stuff like kopia (https://kopia.io/) or rclone (https://rclone.org/install/) should do it. Source: about 2 years 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 2 years 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?
