I agree with all of this and I would also add Duplicity as a possible |
10 |
candidate, although not quite as simple to use as BorgBackup (I haven't |
11 |
tried Dirvish) I usually end up putting a wrapper script around such tasks |
12 |
anyway. |

If you have your offsite backups in another building, how will you get |
15 |
the backups there? If they are networked, great, but if it relies on you |
16 |
physically moving hard drives between locations, it won't be done when |
17 |
you need it. Cloud storage is cheap these days and most backup programs |
18 |
have an option to store encrypted data on an external service. I'm |
19 |
currently using a combination of Duplicity and Hubic for this. |
