Asked By CuriousTraveler42 On

I'm on the lookout for dependable backup software that supports reliable incremental backups. Currently, I'm using DEJADUP, but I've hit a snag. After changing my computer, I couldn't find the "restore" button—when I tried, it just opened the file manager instead. I managed to recover my files through copy and paste, but it was super time-consuming. I'm hoping to find something better, ideally user-friendly, that works well under Gnu/Linux.

Check out BackInTime. It’s based on rsync and features a slick interface, along with CLI options if you prefer. It has good documentation, supports incremental backups, and it's quite flexible with include/exclude patterns. The developers are also very responsive!

Have you considered using rsync? It's quite effective for backups and many people swear by it.

BorgBackup is another great option, especially if you're interested in remote backups via BorgBase. Plus, you can simplify things with the Vorta GUI that acts as a frontend for Borg.

Restic is a solid choice for incremental backups. It's got the ability to manage bulk downloads of restored data while still allowing for file-level restores. Just a heads up, it's command-line only, but if you use the Backrest frontend, it can be managed from your browser.

Yeah, I just stick with rsync too. It does the job just fine.
