backup

In my last BorgBackup post I described my new setup using BorgBackup for the backup of my private data. After two weeks of use, I have now first experiences on the way the incremental backups perform and some additional information how I apply this to backup a virtual FreeBSD server hosting some of my stuff. Incremental Backup Performance ;=) I must confess, I am positively impressed. As told before, my duplicity setup did have a very bad performance (even just in the locally to my NAS)....

Backup is always something you under-appreciate until you need it. Therefore, since I lost a lot of my mails due to non-existing backups in the past, I tried to keep proper backups around the last decade. At least this allowed me to keep all my Kate related development mails intact since 2001 or so, not that bad ;=) My old way of doing backups: rsync & duplicity So far, I did my backup on my Unix machines by using rsync to a second host and duplicity to archive stuff on my old Synology NAS....
