Need advice for backup software for linux
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.

I use Syncthing to do a similar thing. I jus have Syncthing pointed to nfs mount to my Nas. Any files synced to the folder via Syncthing just end up on my Nas.
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.
