rsync

T I M E W A R P

I just use syncthing for a few folders.

ZFS root w/ with incremental snapshots pushed to network backup that you physically disconnect when not in use.

Probably rsync, can be a pain in the ass to get a proper solution setup though.

It works best when done over a network, if lighting hits your shit its gonna kill the USB drives too so to do it proper a remote host is best.

cp -ru ~/* /mnt/your_backup_partition

This

Rsync to external drive for /home partition.
Fsarchiver to file on external drive for / partition.

Only one flaw in the above, fsarchiver does not handle sparse files well.

Manual backup via flashdrive
Fuck configuration.

duplicity and rsync

> duplicity
Too complicated for me, rsync FTW.

thehumanbrain.deb

SOURCE=~
TARGET=/run/media/`whoami`/BACKUP/home/
EXCLUDE=Downloads
LOG=~/.logs/backup.log

echo '# START @ ' $(date) >> $LOGFILE
notify-send "Starting backup"

rsync $SOURCE $TARGET -raAXvO --delete --modify-window=1 \
--exclude $EXCLUDE >> $LOGFILE

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
notify-send "Backup done" "You can unmount now"
monitor-client heartbeat -s backup
else
notify-send "Backup failed" "Please check output"
monitor-client sensor -s backup -t bool false
fi
echo '# End' >> $LOGFILE


You can use duply as a frontend, it's like 4 lines of config and has built in GPG

[spoiler] does it backup home files??

full disk backup with clonezilla/partimage

this

Everything

I use different tools for different things.
Most of my work is code, so I back that up with git.
Private projects I do for my self and projects where I am part of a bigger group, git is really good.

Pictures I take with my phone is automatically backed up to my nextcloud server.
I also store other things on there when I don't need a good versioning control.

rsync is also a great tool, but I personally only use it when I manually need to transfer a lot of files.

Borg Backup mainly and the occasional (online) Clonezilla image just in case shit hits the fan.
