I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

    I use my own scripts with rsync etc, I don’t back up my OS itself since I have installing it automated with scripts as well. I just back up specific things I need with my scripts.

      automated with scripts

      would you like to share those or do you have references for creating such scripts? this is on my to do list since years but I always struggle where to begin with.

        They’re very personalized to my setup, so they’re not particularly useful in a general sense - I’d recommend something more like using this guide which seems to be pretty good: https://jumpcloud.com/blog/how-to-use-rsync-remote-backup-linux-system

        Learning bash has been great for me, it’s helped a ton being able to automate so many different things even just like installing and configuring specific applications to work the way I want, etc
