Vorta Reviews and details

• Duplicity

  You can add that to a cron job. Alternatively, I think the Vorta GUI also has a way to easily schedule it[1]. I'll add that one thing I like to do once in a blue-moon is to spin-up a VM and try to recover a few random files. While the check command checks that the data is there and theoretically recoverable, nothing really beats proving to yourself that you can, in a clean environment, recover your files.

• 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

• How do you structure your electronic document filing system?

  Take it from a researcher in computer storage systems who uses three different backup methods to multiple media (iCloud, Time Machine, Vorta/Borg). You’re likely fine with just two, but I’m paranoid about my data because I know how the sausage is made. Source: 11 months ago

• Backup your Vault Plugin

  I use the program Vorta for this. It encrypts and compresses your files locally and then backs them up to wherever you specify, such as your NAS or a cloud service or whatever. Much like your current solution, compressing it makes the transfer faster, but one improvement over your current setup is that it also deduplicates the backup, so it only has to backup changes to your vault not the whole vault every time....

• KBackup vs rsync?

  For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg. Source: about 1 year ago

• Multi-purpose Backup script dedicated for Home Servers

  Recently I have setup Vorta as a Docker container. It's based on Borg Backup and was really easy to setup. Backups are fast and de-duplicated. Restores are also working as expected. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a backup solution. Source: about 1 year ago
