When I tried duplicity it worked great for all of my servers but one. I am not sure what caused the issues on the one server, possibly clock skewing, but backups kept consistently getting corrupted. I'm now a happy bup user, and as far as I'm aware they're working on pruning old backups. Attic seems promising. Does anyone have any experience of that versus bup?

Attic has still problems for large backups (when the block index gets >2gb). There are also several minor issues due to the tool being relatively new (file selection is lacking). Check it's issues page: https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/ https://github.com/jborg/attic/issues/

  To work around some of attic's more UI-level shortcomings, I made a wrapper script called atticmatic that adds a declarative config file, excludes file, etc: http://torsion.org/atticmatic/ http://torsion.org/atticmatic/

Recently collapsed about 2.5 TB of nightly backups into 30 GB. So far it has been an amazing tool.
