• Ask HN: What do you use to backup your VMs?

  I have had good luck with duplicacy for cloud backup: https://duplicacy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Duplicity

  Not to be confused with Duplicati [1] or Duplicacy [2]. There are too many backup programs whose names start with 'Duplic'. [1] https://www.duplicati.com/ [2] https://duplicacy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Duplicity

  I have been having great luck with incremental backups with the very similar named Duplicacy https://duplicacy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Restic – Simple Backups

  My recommendation would be Duplicacy [0]. Code is also on GitHub [1]. It has a paid GUI version, $20 for the first year and $5 for subsequent years with discounts for multiple machines [2]. At least once they've run a promotion for a very cheap lifetime license. Use it just from the CLI is free. My setup is pretty simple, Syncthing and Duplicacy (GUI version) run in a docker container on my home server. Everything... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Your privacy is optional

  Having all your data in one place isn't wise though, so I am planning on storing encrypted backups on Dropbox and Backblaze B2 using Duplicity so that I am following the 3-2-1 backup rule. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?

  I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0]. It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf. Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region. Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  My question comes down to experience. I recently found the program duplicacy. Source: about 2 years ago

• Looking for recommendations for a long term, secure, off-site data storage solution

  The easiest option would be to use cloud storage. I personally use Backblaze B2 for long term backups. Wasabi is another option, which is cost effective, especially, if you need to store data longer than 3 months. As for backup tools, I use Duplicacy to offload backups to cloud. You can use it offload your data once for long term. It can be used to backup to multiple cloud providers. https://duplicacy.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

  Hey just FYSA, I was looking at duplicacy, they have idrive on the webgui. Source: about 2 years ago

  I backup to a local NAS as my onsite backup location. Backblaze B2 is used as a cloud location. I use Duplicacy as a backup software. https://duplicacy.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• What do you use for you auto backup?

  I use Duplicacy at home. I backup my data to a local NAS and to cloud with it. https://duplicacy.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• Need to copy/clone/backup 4TB....how?

  Rclone https://rclone.org/ if you need to clone data is fantastic tool. For backup software, look at Duplicati https://www.duplicati.com/ or duplicacy https://duplicacy.com/, which has dedup and compression features. Source: about 2 years ago

• Question about syncing hard drives from 2 locations

  For an example program, look at duplicacy, https://duplicacy.com/. Source: about 2 years ago

• File corruption still an issue?

  Those backups themselves are encrypted before being stored in the cloud. I personally use Arq, but any modern backup solution will probably work, like Borg, Restic, Duplicacy or even Kopia if you’re feeling brave :-). Source: about 2 years ago

• Anyone else using Kopia and Backblaze B2?

  b) Look at it yourself. Commits happen but mostly as clean up while there are a lot issues listed. Alternatives none... Maybe expect https://duplicacy.com/ but their ui is payed. Source: about 2 years ago

• Help me choose between borg, restic and rclone

  But if you want to skip the rclone and go straight to backing up to a cloud provider take a look at Duplicacy. Source: about 2 years ago

• Online Backup Storage within Canada/US?

  I am not sure about hetzner alternative in US/Canada. I personally use Duplicacy to backup to backup my data to a local NAS and offload it to Backblaze B2. It works great and it is not that expensive. Might be helpful: https://www.vmwareblog.org/single-cloud-enough-secure-backups-5-cool-cross-cloud-solutions-consider/. Source: over 2 years ago

• duplicati has crossed me for the last time; looking for other recovery options to back up my system and docker containers (databases + configs)

  I like the oddly similarly named Duplicacy. Wide range of cloud and local targets supported. Good deduplication across multiple clients. Web GUI and command line available. Source code available. Technically not "free" software, though. Source: over 2 years ago

• The Arq data format is open (ish). Has anybody managed to edit their backup plan configs?

  Duplicacy https://duplicacy.com has de-dupe between computers. Not as polished as Arq and a bit slower. Never quite trusted it as much as Arq 4 and Arq 7. Source: over 2 years ago
