@jarkko Until I find a backup program I actually like and fully trust, I use rsync to a server and a USB drive, then "cp -al" to create a directory tree of hard link copies to a new directory named after the current date. It's annoying in many ways, but hasn't ever failed me.

@liw Fuck. It's not far away way I do it :-D

I've tried e.g. restic but for some reason they don't stick on me...

I've used this lame backup tool that I wrote many years ago, which takes a selection of subdirectories and makes tar.xz out of them and copy that to my NAS:

Not even incremental/delta backup but it does the job and I keep only five backups in my circle...
