Hi,

I currently use a program called copywhiz on windows that backs up any files or directories created after a certain date to a usb hard drive and runs once a day.

I want to transition fully to Linux. Is there any easy to use software that works on Linux that can do this?

P.S. I have tried creating a bash script to do this but for some reason it has trouble with the date part. So a software solution would be prefered.

    Don’t consider this a backup. Yes, it could help you survive some failures, but if you simply delete a file by accident on your computer, it’ll get deleted from your NAS as well.

      Syncthing has built-in file history function, it’s not enabled by default but it’s easy to configure.
