Faites des sauvegardes !

Perso je n'ai (toujours) pas pris le temps de me pencher sur #Borg, j'ai un système qui tourne avec #rsync depuis quelques années.

Mes irremplaçables photos sont stockées en triple et dans 2 lieux différents.

Quant à Borg, un jour j'irai voir ça pour peut-être remplacer rsync.

@coq Over 10y ago, I also used rsync + hardlinks for backups.

It worked, but had some limitations due to the way it worked. I had the gut feeling that there must be something way more advanced than just that.

After some research and experiments, I found attic backup (which was still in an early stage, but had impressive properties: better deduplication, compression, authenticated encryption)!

That was what later has been forked to borgbackup and has seen over 10y of development since then.

Thanks for the feedback.
I know I have to look at it. Rsync is adapted for me today, Borg may add value that I do not expect.
