I'd have to move to the recent release of Debian to get Duplicity to work. So I've passed on this option.
I can't mount the backup I've created with restic, not sure why. So, I've also passed on this option.
Now I'm just going to compress and password protect with 7z, and upload to Backblaze. It's mostly personal files, like pictures, that can be easily archived.
How cheesy is this?
Well it is highly inefficient to be sending all the data each time. That's why I use rsnapshot instead. But that does require access to a shell on both ends. Only transferring the changes using rsync, and keeping efficient deltas over time is great. Running a backup every 4 hours or so is a non issue and takes very little time and is totally automated with cron. -- Len Sorensen
