What backup software for Linux should I use?


Hey HN crowd,

I am now for quite some time on Linux and still searching for a good encrypted backup solution.

What are you using and why do you think it is the best solution for you?

Requirements I have:

- Client Side encryption

- Automated

- Easy to restore

- GUI to configure it

- Stored into a cloud storage

I am happy to pay a monthly fee for a good solution, but the client must be open source to ensure a client side encryption.

I think that you will get a more complete answer from a bigger on-topic audience from SuperUser [1]. Be sure to include how many servers you would scale to, how much data, speed of the network and how many people would be managing the solution. If this is for a professional deployment, then perhaps also ask on ServerFault [2]

Backblaze might be what you're looking for.

Otherwise, you could use an external hard drive and rsync
