+1 syncthing too. Over the years it has gotten rock solid for me. I use it between all my machines and phone. With various 1 to many, 1 to 1 and one way or two way sync.
One of my machine is always on and is backuped to the cloud everyday. Effectively making a backup of all my devices at once.
Better yet, since syncthing can also save staggered copies of modified files, a rm -rf * will be synced but the backup machine will still have copy from about 10s ago. This saved me a few times.
Once I realized that I had deleted a file a few months later. And I found it into the syncthing backup, itself within the cloud backup.
Very freeing.
- danparsonson 3y agoI just finished setting up an automated backup system with syncthing and restic, and now my phone, laptop, desktop and server are all backed up in several directions and to a cloud storage area, every night. It's glorious and works like a dream. Happy days!
- 8fingerlouie 3y agoI would be very careful when setting up any kind of replication on backup repositories. I much prefer to actually backup to multiple destination, since when replicating, any error will propagate to the synchronized repositories as well, rendering all of the equally useless.
- danparsonson 3y agoGreat advice thanks - I have taken some steps to mitigate that (snapshotting, and a manual weekly USB backup) but you're right, this is an area I should look at more closely.

- BaseballPhysics 3y agoAre you me? This is literally my setup. The one addition is rclone, which I used to back up my (encrypted) restic repos to Drive.

- bostonvaulter2 3y agoSounds like a nice setup! How are you backing up from syncthing to the cloud? Are your backups encrypted?
