Is it possible to use rclone as a backup tool? With the usual features like compression, e2e e, de-duplication, incremental.

- prirun 5y agoI don't think so, but HashBackup (I'm the author) has all that and has an interface to rclone if you use a storage service that isn't supported natively.

- rsync 5y agoWe've been telling people to use 'borg' for several years now and it appears to have become the de facto standard for just what you're describing. It has been described as "The Holy Grail" of backups: https://www.stavros.io/posts/holy-grail-backups/ https://www.stavros.io/posts/holy-grail-backups/
- crossroadsguy 5y agoI use borg indeed, via Vorta. Also, I am a rsync.net customer (I think you should start with a smaller min storage for pay what you use, or keep it pure pwyu). I am looking for another backup tool that backs up to an S3 storage destination and has a decent GUI (restic doesn’t have a GUI; relica doesn’t count; and borg doesn’t support s3). Since rclone has an experimental GUI I wondered.
