Comment on Backing up easily
ki9@lemmy.gf4.pw 1 day agoRsync is the correct solution. It does exactly what you want and nothing more. A script that uses rsync is future-proof. Other backup solutions depend on the maintenance of the software, which could be abandoned, go up in price, or have vulnerabilities.

I currently use rsync to do encrypted backups to iDrive e2 currently, but I’m concerned about the concept of “syncing isn’t a backup”, since as others have already said here, you can sync corrupted files, accidental deletions, etc. without more than a single snapshot. I’m considering something like Backrest with e2 because I like the idea of something that is opinionated and that “just works” when it comes to backups.
