I’ve always used duplicity
for my personal backups in a external drive and rclone
for some important files for GDrive. So, I started looking for a better solution for online backups and somehow I read about borg
in Reddit. I realise borg
can’t upload to a cloud storage unless is via ‘ssh’ and in the same subreddit I read a person talking about restic
because he was looking for an online solution too. I searched about it and read some tutorials, comparisons and reviews. I tried it using the REST
server for rclone
first and couldn’t be happier about it, so I kept using it. I also changed my local backup from duplicity
to borg
because they use compression and it really saves a lot of space of my external hard drive (1TB of data is now about 75GB; mostly because of de-duplication but compression saves some extra space) and duplicity
was taking a lot of space because of the full backups that all we know is so annoying. So, that’s it.
