Personally, I've had some issues with Kopia. I found their explanation here: https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1764 https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/544 Still not solved after many years :( Now I use Borg + Restic and I am happy + GUI for Restic https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest + GUI for Borg https://github.com/borgbase/vorta

Actually yes! It could even be paid in the context of this year's Google Summer of Code: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta Or if you join as mentor, you will be supporting the Python Foundation. If interested, just email the address in my HN profile.

A bit like me. Got started setting up a webshop for my first startup and had to learn Apache and PHP. If anyone with similar skills (Python, Docker, Shell) reads this and looks do get started, do check out our Google Summer of Code projects for this year. You'll get paid and can pick any task in this field: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code...

There's Vorta: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta which I quite like.

The zstd estimator is not that great, so you should definitely keep the auto-detection of the file system on. If you try to compress a completely incompressible file, it will still be extremely slow at higher compression levels: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/issues/485#issuecomment-88...

There are at least two GUI's for borgbackup: * Vorta (https://github.com/borgbase/vorta) * Pika Backup for Gnome (https://apps.gnome.org/app/org.gnome.World.PikaBackup/) Vorta is multiplatform and more reliable by my experience.

At Vorta (https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/) we're also happy users of the PyQt + PyInstaller stack. Not really needed for Linux, but great for macOS. It's even possible to use Sparkle via PyObjc for automatic updates. Be sure to build "appdir" packages to get a proper macOS package that can be notarized with Apple.

I've always liked the vorta project (https://github.com/borgbase/vorta)

> Now I have been using Vorta (UI for Borg) https://github.com/borgbase/vorta for a long time and everything is fine. Same. I really like it. Also sending my backups to https://borgbase.com which was relatively painless to setup.

I did use time machine on external USB HDD and after some time it got corrupted. Happened multiple times over the years. Then I tried Time Machine using AFP and SMB on remote NAS. Those also got corrupted multiple times. The lesson I learned was - do not use TimeMachine. Now I have been using Vorta (UI for Borg) https://github.com/borgbase/vorta for a long time and everything is fine.

Very content with Borg for my backups, using it via the Vorta GUI client [1]. Zero issues for me unlike Duplicati and Duplicacy. [1] https://github.com/borgbase/vorta

I asked myself that question last November. Big project was finished and finances were good. I applied to YC Startup School to get into the "scene" and they accepted everyone by accident that year. I ended up doing a startup for backup hosting[1] and a new open source GUI[2] to go with it. Not as grand as the ideas here, but I seems to solve a problem for some people. If I had to do it again, I would start with a niche problem I know well and that other people are willing to pay for. Then learn new things on the way and expand where it makes sense. 1: https://www.borgbase.com/ 2: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta

You may be interested in looking into borg to replace rsnapshot. https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ https://github.com/borgbackup/borg https://github.com/borgbackup/borg-import https://github.com/borgbackup/borgweb https://github.com/borgbase/vorta

Let's also mention Vorta, an open source GUI for Borg to make it as easy to use as commercial backup tools. We just started translating into different languages. All input and PRs are welcome. https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/ (I'm the original author, but Thomas, the current Borg maintainer is also very active.)
