I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist.
I’m interested in both command-line, and GUI solutions.
I don’t. I lose my data like all the cool (read: fool) kids.
Timeshift is a great tool for creating incremental backups. Basically it’s a frontend for rsync and it works great. If needed you can also use it in CLI
Is it just me or the backup topic is recurring each few days on !linux@lemmy.ml and !selfhosted@lemmy.world?
To be on topic as well - I use restic+autorestic combo. Pretty simple, I made repo with small script to generate config for different machines and that’s it. Storing between machines and b2.
It hasn’t succeeded in nagging me to properly back up my data yet, so I think it needs to be discussed even more.
I have a bash script that backs all my stuff up to my Homeserver with Borg. My servers have cronjobs that run similar scripts.
