I have two gripes with Déjà Dup (or rather had, the last time I reviewed my backup setup several years ago):
- It can only do one set of backup settings and consequently only one backup destination without additional tooling, which is not Right™.
- It cannot add different prefixes to the names of index and data files, making it impossible to set up S3 lifecycle rules for dumping the latter to Glacier. (Duplicity requires the former to be hot for some reason, I don’t know why.)
Both of those are things you can do with the underlying Duplicity tool and a scheduler, but the UI does not expose them. Thus I sadly had to discard Déjà Dup’s shiny GNOME UI, and I know of no other backup tool with a shiny GNOME UI (and am too lazy to write one so far).
Have any parts of this become false?
