Best backup for Linux?

I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

There is no such thing as the objectively best solution. Each tool has advantages and disadvantages. And every user has different preferences and requirements.

Personally, I am using Borg for years. And I have had to restore data several times, which has worked every time.

In addition to Borg, you can also look at Borgmatic. This wrapper extends the functionality and makes some things easier.

And if you want to use a graphical user interface, you can have a look at Vorta or Pika.

Agree. Should say 'best for you'. Cool thanks. I know of Vorta which I intended of using. Gonna read up on the other ones.

Oh I love borg backups and the ability to script it.

I'm making encrypted backups of a lot of servers this way, including a Lemmy instance.
