I use borg backup to sync all our files (from ~5 machines) to an old PC which synchronizes everything to the cloud. Borg has deduplication, compression, encryption, and saves several versions of the files which I think is crucial. Also all text-based data are on Git like software, papers, etc.
- unilynx 5y agoIs your PC synchronising the source files or the borg files to the cloud ? Otherwise it's still a SPOF for your backups (the borg files might corrupt, and you might be syncing that corruption to the cloud)
- jarenmf 5y agoGood point. I am indeed synchronizing the borg file. I have however my script run borg check before it synchronizes to the cloud. It would be better to synchronize the source files but the encryption and deduplication are what's keeping me from doing that.
