Comment on World Backup Day

Comments

This is very much about personal backups but while we're here - what open source backup tools do people recommend for very simple filesystem backups to a remote server?

FreeFileSync

It's what you'd like if your idea of simplicity is dragging and dropping one folder to another, but want to more closely see what files have changed before the copy.

rsync is great

Well the current system is a shell script with rsync that I wrote but I'd like something slightly more sophisticated without having to build logic myself for incremental backups, potentially encryption, etc, etc

They might have meant rclone: https://rclone.org/

This looks interesting, thanks!
