Hey fellow nerds.

How do you handle large-ish volume backups between Linux hosts? About 1TB of data. Source has 100Mbps upload. Receiving end is Gbit.

Incrementals will be essential, since full backup is nearly a day's worth of upload.

FOSS suggestions only at this stage. It's currently performing backups put of my control with Veeam and I'm a bit nervous about the whole situation being out of my hands.

@lakeswimmer I believe the classic tool here is rsync. It's pretty good.
@aarbrk Yeah, rsync is great. But it doesn't (as far as I'm aware) do versioning as such.
