I’m trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I’m curious what other solutions may exist.
I’m interested in both command-line, and GUI solutions.
I use
restic(https://restic.net/) which can usercloneto connect to a variety of backends (eg. onedrive, mega, dropbox etc.). Also,resticprofile(https://restic.net/) makes it easier to run (hides flags in the config file). I use it manually but a cron job would be easy to implement (a tutorial is here: https://forum.yunohost.org/t/daily-automated-backups-using-restic/16812).Restic does not need rclone and can use many remote storage services directly. I do restic backups directly to Backblaze.
