Hmmm, seemed like the author was looking more at [the labyrinthine signup and setup for cloud services] vs [download .exe and run]. I don't think opensource or the platform was an issue, since the original article was on a Mac. I'm happy to pay for good software, and Bvckup2 does an excellent job of backups for me. It's easy to point it to an empty directory tree and have it replicate the entire volume rapidly, or point it to a previous backup and update only the diffs. Fancier backup systems are of course available, but I prefer lightweight and straight copies, not extra compression or other formats. If you have something better, please let me know (definitely more helpful than merely complaining about features you don't like).
