It’s funny that the same person asking for linux support would complain about B2 “not being for home users”. I sync my own backups to B2 and would set that up o

  What software/workflow do you use for this Linux to B2 backup please?

    Restic + rclone personally, with a wrapper script to glue things together nicely

      What's the advantage of additionally using rclone vs. just restic?
      • its-summertime 7mo ago
        Mostly because it allows decoupling authentication to a given remote, away from restic. easier to use `rclone:remote:folder` than needing to provide a remote + a separate set of env vars to authenticate with that remote. Not an issue in most languages, but I'm using bash, so its more of a bother.

    Not OP, but this is my script: https://gist.github.com/smj-edison/33229537007a73520a26a14a03bdb979 https://gist.github.com/smj-edison/33229537007a73520a26a14a0... It's been cobbled together over the years to add things I want, like not backing up on battery, or sending a desktop message on success. When I set it up I couldn't figure out how to set up a timer, so it runs when I wake from suspend. I'd probably use a systemd timer in the future though. I also should probably snapshot my file system before backing up since I'm running btrfs, but I never figured out how to do that either, and this works, lol.

    I use restic as well. My script: https://forge.taf.codes/taf/snippets/src/branch/main/backups/restic__remote_only__headless https://forge.taf.codes/taf/snippets/src/branch/main/backups...
