I’m planning to set up proper backups for my server, but I’m not sure which software to use. I’ve looked for solutions with encryption, compressed, incremental backups. These seem to be the best options:
Does anyone have experience with these, and if so, what was your experience?
EDIT 2023-12-28:
It seems most people are using Restic of which about half mention using a wrapper such as resticprofiles, creatic and autorestic.
| Borg | Restic | Kopia |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 7 | 5 |
What were the limitations of borg that you ran into?
Index of repositories is held locally, so if you use the same repository with multiple machines, they have to rebuild their index every time they switch.
I also have family PCs i wanted to backup too, but borg doesnt support windows, so only hacky WSL would have worked.
But the worst might be the speed of borg… idk what it is, but it was incredibly slow when backing up.
