- beepbooptheory 5y agoI like restic, but doing rsync scripts like this always win out for me because I find myself wanting to stage the backups on the destination systems, and not the source/prod ones.
- sneak 5y agoI really, really wanted to love restic, but it makes far, far too many tiny size files for my main remote backup use-case: backing up dozens of TB offsite to Glacier Deep Archive. Eagerly awaiting a configurable chunk size, if they decide to do that.
- shaicoleman 5y agoPerhaps Kopia will work for your use case: https://kopia.io/ https://kopia.io/ https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/amazon-s3/ https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/amazon-s3/
- remram 5y agoKopia looks great! I am currently using Duplicati for my personal machines, but Mono and its dependencies have been less than reliable. borg/restic/... look good but seem like only part of a solution, having to write my own scripts and crontabs with monitoring etc on top seems counter-productive. edit: No web interface?
- mekster 5y agoSorry to say none of these modern backup tools work reliably when backup volumes get large except borg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29210222 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29210222 Using zfs snapshot is the best way to go but having a cloud destination wouldn't be easy for these tools unfortunately but there are services that accept borg and zfs send.
