What is your Backup Software of preference?

edited November 2021 in General

I want to automate backups for my Windows 10 rig including several folders and Outlook E-Mails.

Should I just write a bashscript for WSL and use smth like rsync to do this, or is there any Backup Software you can recommend that makes things easier to manage? Some of the bigger names out there seem to be Aomei, Acronis, Easeus and Ashampoo. Most come with a standard version which often seems quite limited. Then again it's BF, so may pick smth up if it's good. FOSS tools are welcome, too :)

What do you use for backups that would work on a Windows 10 rig?

    In the past I have used the free Veeam product https://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.html - but I had some issues backing up my Windows desktop to a NFS share on local network. I didn't have energy to debug it.

    After that I have installed a trial version of Macrium Reflect then upgraded to a paid version and had no issues on backing up the same machine on the same NFS share.

    Both of the mentioned software makes a full disk image and then some incremental backups - Macrium has more advanced options and you can configure how to take backups.

    Hope it helps.

    Disk imaging and backup are different.

    On Windows I've used duplicati to backup directories.

    I use duplicati on all the desktops we have here at the office.

    You can try rclone, it worked pretty great with b2 for me. You need to create a scheduled task for this if you want to do this periodically, manage your filtering rules: https://rclone.org/filtering/ etc.
    I have also tried syncbackpro for non-tech user, it worked great too with periodic backups/sync triggers.

    Thanks, will have a look! :) The name "Veeam" rings a bell.

    Can Duplicati automatically take Outlook Backups, too? Some of the Backup Software I mentioned, seems to be able to Backup Outlook out of the box, too.

    Backblaze seems nice, but it seems that would yet be another recurring fee for Backups in the cloud. I already have Koofr and other Cloud Storage, so I am really just looking to backup stuff to an external drive and then to the cloud storage I have.

    I use iDrive for real-time and cloud backup on Mac and Windows and AOMEI for local backups and imaging on Windows.

    I've been happy with both solutions and AOMEI has already saved my bacon a couple of times. It was also very handy when I upgraded my laptop HDD to SSD.

    AOMEI is currently running a BF offer for $20 on StackSocial (using code APPS30) and they often run offers on their website. It's a lifetime license valid for 2 devices.

    That's great. They've been adding new features with every new version. I used the free version for a long time until I decided buying a license just to support them. The free version covers most of the basic backup needs.

    Yeah, I used the free version in the past and remembered that I was very happy with them.
    That made it easier for me to just pull the trigger now ;)
    Props to them for offering such a good free version, though. They even include Technical Support in the free version which others often won't do.

    For those using AOMEI Backupper: it seems that it doesn't have a "native" support for cloud drives (need the cloud drive software to be installed as well). How's your experience with using it for cloud drives? Does it play well when using encryption for backups?

    I just bought it and haven't used it in a while, so I can't really comment on this. With Koofr you can sync specific directories that are mapped to your PC. I assume, if you make it the Aomei Backup Path, your Aomei Backups would get synced to Koofr Cloud.
    You would need Koofr software, though. Although, you might also be able to use rclone, since Koofr supports that.

    Macrium works if you want to make an image. So all the fine-tuned stuff you used gets back to how it was.
    As years go buy, I prefer to tune as little as possible and be able to run a fresh install when needed ASAP, to creating images, updating them...
    I.e. Macrium is not as practical for data/file backup as it is for backing up your "C partition" if you know what I mean. :)

    Gotcha. I also agree that I prefer to backing up the few important folders/files to the cloud/external drives/NAS as needed and for the rest of the system just to be able to run a fresh install without much worries. Makes things a lot easier :)

    At the moment I don't know of any that I don't hate. I mostly just use rsync and have vague thoughts about writing something myself, but don't have a really clear idea of what I'd want it to do.

    I wish there were better backup hardware (tape drives) available and affordable.

  • HarambeHarambe OG

    I run time machine for local backups on my Macs and Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com/) for remote encrypted backups. Arq has a Windows client now.

    They discount it ~50% every so often, I think I got mine on sale during world backup day but they might have a black friday offer as well.

    Indeed, according to their documentation you need the cloud desktop client installed: https://www.ubackup.com/help/how-to-backup-to-nas.html#toc.0.3449390086479136

    Their newest version has an icon to Cloud Backup, but it seems it's a separate product:

    My current setup:

    a. Macbook Pro - 500 GB Disk - full backup to Seagate 1.5 TB (external HDD) + pCloud (Mac APP) + Inception Phoenix (rclone)

    b. Wife's Laptop: - Till last week: on 250 GB Drive: full backup to Koofr (Windows App)
    --> will move to pCloud because Koofe plan has 250 GB (using pCloud Windows App)
    Full backup to local on external HDD
    Never used cloning program till recently, when...
    Macrium (actually Macrium licensed by Hynix)* came to my rescue recently. Wife’s Dell got an upgrade by yours truly - stock 256 GB SATA M.2 to a TB of NVMe.

    She wanted an exact replica of her Windows disk and she got just that. Plus extra speed and space.

    c. Audio editing station (New Setup) - 250 GB + 480 GB, both M2 Sata
    Full Backup to Hosthatch 2 TB, 2x a week, rclone

    d. Phones (Images + Videos+ Contact) -- iDrive App (Android, iOs) + transfer to Mac every 2 months, sorted and backup up as (a) above.

    If all else fails there’s always rm -rf

    ———

    Tips below

    *If you have / buy a NVMe or Sata SSD, almost every major player offers some form of cloning/backup software. No need to buy one. Provided atleast one of the drives is from that vendor.

    e.g the Hynix licensed version of Macroum: the “clone from” disk was Hynix, “clone to “ was Seagate. The latter offers a similar software- possibly white labelled Acronis.

    I have a few other USB drives lying around- they will all get used up in the Audio rig (refurbished Lenovo Thinkcentre M900 i5/6th Gen)

    Used to have Zoolz for backup of Mac. Till they shafted the Long term users. Got rid of them completely.

    Literally set up a new storage box at BuyVM last week (1TB) for this purpose.

    Ended up using rest-server at BuyVM: https://github.com/restic/rest-server
    Really easy setup.

    Once done, I installed the following (Windows only script): https://github.com/kmwoley/restic-windows-backup
    Should work even better on Mac, but haven't had time to try it yet.

    I use Restic for all my Linux servers for backup, super fast and easy setup and you can easily restore files.

    restic → b2, scaleway. (there's Kopia; maturing quite fast)
    Vorta (borg) → rsync.net, borgbase.com.
    Tarnsap → Tarsnap (aws) - just a ~2GB set (costlier than other sinks)
    Synching → external hard disk, a pen drive, and phone storage. (mirrors rather; not backups; this setup needs improvement)

    This is on Mac but these are all essentially cross platform tools (this was another draw for me).

    All tools are FOSS except Tarsnap which is OSS but not FOSS. restic and borg has magical de-dup when it can do it.

    (My backup set isn't small, it's tiny from 2021 standards. I don't backup everything. So it doesn't cost me much. Might not work for folks with a huge backup set. But this does give you full control on your data, backup, and backup/retention/etc rules)

  • DanielDaniel OG

    I use Borgbackup on all my servers.

    On my Windows PCs, all the important stuff is in either Seafile or Dropbox, or is just open-source on my GitHub, so I don't actually have any backup software on the Windows PC. I've been meaning to look into it. I've used duplicity on Windows Server before and it worked well, but I haven't tried it on Windows 10, and I don't think its algorithms are as good as Borgbackup (I think it's just incremental backup, rather than blocks that are deduplicated).

    @amar said: All tools are FOSS except Tarsnap which is OSS but not FOSS.

    Note that the "F" in "FOSS" refers to "freedom", not "free of charge". That is, you're free to modify and/or distribute the software. Software can cost money and still be FOSS.

    In any case, Tarsnap is not open-source; it's just source-visible. https://www.tarsnap.com/open-source.html

    All my important files on laptop or phones are in either Seafile or Dropbox sync'ed folders.
    Seafile server has daily rclone backup to storage server.

    Photos and push-up videos are in an HDD attached to home router.
    It also has daily rclone backup to storage server.

    I've been using Duplicati for the last year or so on a laptop (not mine). Three or four times I noticed that the daily backups were not running successfully anymore. Restores were similarly prevented. Each time I had to do some manual intervention, rebuilding the database or such, in order to be able to run a successful backup (and restore) again. I told myself if it happens again I'm switching to borg on WSL, but things have been smooth for the last couple of months.
    On servers I've been using borg for a few years and can't recall ever encountering any issues. Servers are different in that they're always on and connected though, so I don't know how it would fare with notebooks.

    I am in the (paid) Duplicacy camp. Chose it over Duplicati as users have commented that Duplicati has had data integrity problems in the past (eg: https://forum.duplicati.com/t/backup-integrity-problems/3542). I also like the (paid) web front end of Duplicacy, plus the option to use the open source CLI version https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy.

    Also, being able to restore/prune/check my backup repos using the web product without a paid licence also is a bonus.

    The lifetime deal on Black Friday is just cream on top :)

    Duplicacy (web) has a 30 day trial, see what you think! I was using restic prior but finding it had some kind of strange memory leak which was causing issues with 1.5tb of backups on the hardware I was using...

  • casadebamburojocasadebamburojo OG

    @bdl Is the paid Duplicacy fool proof? I need something that I can set up and forget as I'll be installing it for someone who's not really a techie.

    I've found it foolproof for completely non-techy family members on their macOS machines, I can jump in and administer via the web interface whenever needed. Been running the same setup (sftp to a VPS) for just over a year and a half now.

    From memory, I think on Windows you have to set it up as a service if you want it to run without a user logging in however not sure if that applies in your use case.

    Last two BF's they also had a promo where you could get a lifetime license - see https://forum.duplicacy.com/t/black-friday-2021-sale-on-lifetime-license-again/5624 - if you like it/it works well you may want to do that next year for them.

    Try the trial and see what you think!

  • casadebamburojocasadebamburojo OG

    Thanks @bdl, I'll check it out!

    A question for anyone reading: a wiseman once said that unless a file exists in at least 3 different locations, it doesn't exist at all.

    Say for example I intend to back up to Google Drive and a storage VPS. Is it better to daisy chain it or do a star topology? Something like:
    PC -> Google Drive -> VPS
    or
    Google Drive <- PC -> VPS

    Let me know your opinions. :smile:

    I use a start topology with borgBackup because of this comment on their documentation:
    https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#can-i-copy-or-synchronize-my-repo-to-another-location

    If you want to have redundant backup repositories (preferably at separate locations), 
the recommended way to do that is like this:

borg init repo1
borg init repo2
client machine —borg create—> repo1
client machine —borg create—> repo2
This will create distinct repositories (separate repo ID, separate keys) and nothing bad
happening in repo1 will influence repo2.

Some people decide against above recommendation and create identical copies of a repo 
(using some copy / sync / clone tool).

While this might be better than having no redundancy at all, you have to be very careful about
 how you do that and what you may / must not do with the result (if you decide against our 
recommendation).

What you would get with this is:

client machine —borg create—> repo
repo —copy/sync—> copy-of-repo
There is no special borg command to do the copying, you could just use any reliable tool that
 creates an identical copy (cp, rsync, rclone might be options).

But think about whether that is really what you want. If something goes wrong in repo, you will
 have the same issue in copy-of-repo.

Make sure you do the copy/sync while no backup is running, see borg with-lock about how to do 
that.

Also, you must not run borg against multiple instances of the same repo (like repo and copy-of-repo)
 as that would create severe issues:

Data loss: they have the same repository ID, so the borg client will think they are identical and 
e.g. use the same local cache for them (which is an issue if they happen to be not the same). 
See #4272 for an example.

Encryption security issues if you would update repo and copy-of-repo independently, due to AES 
counter reuse.

There is also a similar encryption security issue for the disaster case: If you lose repo and the 
borg client-side config/cache and you restore the repo from an older copy-of-repo, you also 
run into AES counter reuse.

While this might be better than having no redundancy at all, you have to be very careful about
 how you do that and what you may / must not do with the result (if you decide against our 
recommendation).

What you would get with this is:

client machine —borg create—> repo
repo —copy/sync—> copy-of-repo
There is no special borg command to do the copying, you could just use any reliable tool that
 creates an identical copy (cp, rsync, rclone might be options).

But think about whether that is really what you want. If something goes wrong in repo, you will
 have the same issue in copy-of-repo.

Make sure you do the copy/sync while no backup is running, see borg with-lock about how to do 
that.

Also, you must not run borg against multiple instances of the same repo (like repo and copy-of-repo)
 as that would create severe issues:

Data loss: they have the same repository ID, so the borg client will think they are identical and 
e.g. use the same local cache for them (which is an issue if they happen to be not the same). 
See #4272 for an example.

Encryption security issues if you would update repo and copy-of-repo independently, due to AES 
counter reuse.

There is also a similar encryption security issue for the disaster case: If you lose repo and the 
borg client-side config/cache and you restore the repo from an older copy-of-repo, you also 
run into AES counter reuse.

    This is good thinking.
    Having identical repos means an error in one will probably exist in the second as well.

    I haven't found a lot of other people using burp. Came out of the dev's master's thesis: tiered incremental, chunk-level dedup with definable cross-client pools, resumeable. Primarily Linux, but there's a windows version using VSS.

    I use restic to backup data to rsync.net + rclone to backup data to Backblaze B2.

    Works well for my needs.

    What’s your rclone backup to b2 setup?

    By the way restic backs up to b2 destination out of the box, right?
