Ask HN: How do you manage backups?
2 by JonathanBuchh | 0 comments on Hacker News.
How do people on HN handle backups? Personally, I use MacOS's Time Machine, since it is super polished and makes restoring files and browsing what the filesystem previously looked like a breeze. It "just works" and is the only backup solution I have used to restore lost files (who knows how well a backup solution works unless you actually test it). I have even been able to set up a Samba server on a Raspberry Pi so I don't need to plug a hard drive into my computer to backup. I upload an encrypted sparesebundle to Backblaze B2 every day with rclone. As I have been looked into using Linux as a daily driver, I have wondered if there was any backup solution as flawless as Time Machine. Does such a piece of software exist? In sum, I just want to hear how other people on HN do backups – even if it does not solve my problem, though software suggestions are appreciated ;)
