(TO DO: update when WSL2 is out and stable)īorg/Restic - very important disabled windows antivirus “real-team protection” for the backup folder/process. Wifi bandwidth to router is generally 30-50MB/s in favourable (large file bulk transfer) conditions.īorg - no windows binary available currently running through a docker container. I currently use Duplicati / Arq5 as “production” backup (production in so far as I still experiment with them…!)Ĭomputer is desktop PC connected via wifi to gigabit pipe to the world.

photo/video collection (about 95% of the storage) - long tail here with most files being small (3-4Mb jpg) but with some largish videos making up the majority of the space.

Do let me know any testing desired and I’ll see what I can do.īackup source is ~107k files totalling 460Gb of storage. I hope to make this a living resource so happy to do more testing based on feedback and include here. Bookmark.Have a bit of time on my hands (all COVID induced…) and trying out / comparing the different backup solutions. This means I have the offsite copy in case my house burns down but can still get at the data in more mundane scenarios.

They can talk to each other directly, but I like the idea of having a local copy of the repo, so I’ve set restic to backup to a portable HDD, the which then is copied to Backblaze. Some people have had issues with reliability with it. It does support B2 storage, but not Wasabi.

It has some nice features, like the ability to mount a backup as a FUSE filesystem so you can browse it. However it doesn’t natively support remote object storage, so needs another tool to upload the data. As far as I can tell the key advantage that Borg offers is compression, but can be slower with large respositories and large files because it’s single-threaded.

Borgīorg is also a deduplicating backup software – seems to be a bit less fashionable that restic, a bit more mature.

There isn’t a version 1.0.0 yet, but it seems to be fairly popular already, and supports B2 storage & Wasabi. The same article describes Restic as the new-school tool – which supports deduplication to save space. Having said that it’s a respected and reliable tool which supports everything it needs to: Encryption, Compression, Backblaze B2 storage is supported, Wasabi is not.

This then creates headaches about deciding when to create a new full backup and how often to get rid of the old ones.

This can be space-efficient and fast and easy to understand, but the downside is to do a restore you need the last full backup, and all the incremental backups since then. That means it’s the model whereby you create a backup of everything – a full backup, then the next time you back up you only back up what’s changed – that’s an incremental backup. Duplicityĭuplicity has been described as an old-school approach by this Backblaze blog post. I’m going to rule this one out right away it’s not free – I’m only mentioning it because it’s often included in conversations about Linux backup software. Please note that tools like rsync and rclone aren’t backup tools – they’re just for syncing, so don’t manage the versions or encryption Backblaze B2 and Wasabi are similar – the benefit of Wasabi is that the’s no extra charges for downloads – B2 has a 1GB daily download threshold, and you start getting charged if you go over that.įor the backup software.

However, although looks pretty simple – the price isn’t competitive.

Backup software – to figure out what needs to be uploaded, and keep track of versions and suchlike.įor the remote side I’ve got three real options:.

Remote data storage service – to actually hold the data.

This is Linux, so nothing is simple – the solution is divided into two pieces: So I’m on the hunt for an offsite backup solution for this server. In fairness, it’s not really meant for backing up servers, but there’s still a lot of things it could do better. I’ve been using SpiderOak for backup, and to cut a long story short it’s becoming tiresome.
