    Kopia is my favorite by far!

    It’s super fast and has tons of great features including cutting-edge encryption and several compression options.

    It has a GUI and is cross-platform.

    It can do both cloud and local/network backups.

    That includes locally mounted disks, SFTP, rsync, or any network share/etc accessible from your machine as well as many cloud options.

    The de-duplication stuff is also killer. If you upload the same file (or chunk of data) in different folders or even from different systems it will map them to the same backup storage potentially saving you a ton of storage space.

    It also uses a rolling hash system so if you modify just a handful of megabytes from a 25GB file many times, only the megabytes of changes will need to be backed up to store the version history. You do not need to store 25GB every time you modify that file.

    There’s a ton of other goodies as well!

    And it’s all FOSS!

    I use it to backup to an external hard drive, a NAS, and to Amazon S3. You can configure multiple repositories like that and have them all run at the same time (subject to their individual scheduling policies of course)

    Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.

    When I ask you for the logs I don’t mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.

    Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.

    I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that’s not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function in a text editor to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.

    Please provide the entire log, this “helping” concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.

    I really love Kopia.

    I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.

    It’s really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression algorithms and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage.

    Snapshots are also effortless to mount and it even supports error correction to protect against bit-flipping and other long-term storage risks.

    It’s also cross-platform and FOSS.

    De-duplication prevents duplicate bits of data from being stored twice. Even if they are different file names or even synced from different systems.

    The rolling hash/file-splitting means if you modify a 25GB file and only change a couple MB then only the changed couple MB will need to be stored. This means you can spend a month modifying small parts of a massive file thousands of times and avoid storing a new 25GB file thousands of times to archive those changes.
