Ask HN: What FOSS cloud backup tool is reliable?

2 pointsby devilkinabout 5 years ago
I&#x27;m currently looking for a reliable cloud backup tool. There are several, but they all have their issues... and I&#x27;m getting a bit lost.<p>Things I&#x27;m looking for:<p>* dedup<p>* compression<p>* encryption<p>* upload to cloud<p>* reliable<p>* opensource (preferably with a friendly license)<p>* usable on linux<p>It&#x27;ll be something in the ballpark of 600GB - 1TB that I want to backup to cloud.<p>These are the ones I am currently looking at:<p>Restic: looks nice, but ... https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forum.rclone.org&#x2F;t&#x2F;rclone-as-destination-for-borgbackup&#x2F;12717&#x2F;9<p>Duplicity: no dedup<p>Duplicati: beta forever. I&#x27;m reading a lot of things about database rebuild issues, issues with big datasets. Mono app, not a huge fan but not a dealbreaker<p>Duplicacy: Looks great except for the license. I don&#x27;t mind paying for a good product, but... https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;gilbertchen&#x2F;duplicacy&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;LICENSE.md<p>BorgBackup: No cloud support (except for SSH)<p>Am I missing anything? Is there anything people can comment on any of the above products?
