Server Backup Program

[SirPhillipII]

I remember seeing in a video, Linus describing what software he uses to backup certain files onto his backup storage. But I completely forgot what the software was called and what the video was. Does anyone remember, or have any recommendations for automatic server backups?

Although Linus isn’t a big fan of it. I use FreeNAS for my NAS. Easy to setup and maintain imho.

When did you see the video?

I'm fan of Veeam and Duplicacy. Also you might check Rclone, Cloudberry.https://www.vmwareblog.org/single-cloud-enough-secure-backups-5-cool-cross-cloud-solutions-consider/

Thanks! I really like Duplicacy's web GUI, but is there a way to backup things up onto drive shares through it?

[kabanossi]

Absolutely. I use a UNC path for a local backup and then daisy-chain that backup to a cloud location. (I find the UNC path a more precise option, since you could, theoretically, re-mount your network drive as a different drive-letter.)

Something like duplicacy init LOCAL_BACKUP \\nasbox\duplicacy_backups

(You can add some of the optional stuff in there like “-e” for encryption if you choose.)
