Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Alternative to Create-Synchronicity (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone!

I've been using Create-Synchronicity for a few years, and it's been great for my needs. However, it hasn't been updated in a while, and I'm curious if there might be a more current alternative out there.

I'm looking for features like mirror, incremental, and two-way incremental backups, as well as the ability to schedule my backups. Opensource is a great plus.

There are plenty of options available, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask you all what you're using and what you would recommend.

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Syncthing?

There is also Borg but I think it doesn’t have the features you’re looking for such as incremental backups and two-way sync etc.

Sync thing is for syncing not for backing up it doesn't really support the features you would want. but yeah Borgbackup or Restic are probably really good open source options. Although I have never tried them myself.
