Bundesligatrainer@atrapavistas I'd go with #kopia .This includes encryption, so no need to have #veracrypt on the external disk additionally.

Maybe not straight forward, but a great tool function wise.
Icho Tolot@plsik @Big_Blue_Gnu @syncthing I'm still not sure of what you want :)
* You want a *second* backup locally on a disk?
* You want a real time backup (in case thats not what proton does)?
Anyway, then syncthing isnt your friend.
For a local backup you could take a look at #kopia
if you fear getting "mined", you will obviously dont want a "sync" (as in two-way comparison of folders) but a manually triggered copy of your files to an external disk.

Vicomte Folmer af HelvedeI'm looking at how best to teach my child about backups on their computer.
Initially I want to teach something simple, an external hard drive, and perhaps a version controlled backup system.
Unfortunately this need to be on Windows, but I'd prefer an open source solution.
I've looked at e.g.
https://www.xda-developers.com/best-open-source-backup-options/
And it seems like Kopia might be a good option.
Any input?

Today I want to thank the teams and communities behind
- #Forgejo [1]
- #Garage [2]
- #Kopia [3]
for delivering (major) updates of their software (which if course is Open Source) that consistently JustWork™ in my experience, making the update process simple, reliable and, yes, fun! I know how hard that is and I tip my hat to all of you and many other projects that do the same.
