I am currently using Freefilesync Flatpak, but that app is not great at all. I dont want weird archives or anything, just to copy my filesystem to another drive.
Also, I want to mirror with the possibility to exclude folders. Mirroring means that the backup should be updated to look like my disk, including deletion of files.
I tested many tools in the Past and for some reason came back to FFS.
Best would be to have automatic backups once I plug in and decrypt the backup drive.
Thanks!
You could try Grsync. It is a GUI for rsync ☺️
Or just use rsync itself. Arch wiki provides some command examples
Okay true, just found out the parameters and it looks pretty nice and easy. Aaand its preinstalled on Fedora Kinoite, so nothing extra even. And no flatpak, which is annoying for these tasks
Have a look at
--link-dest. You can use rsync to effectively setup your own time machine. Here’s the script I’ve used in the past: https://gitlab.com/danielquinn/handy-scripts/-/blob/master/backup
