That usually works IME, you just need to drag the sliders to pick a more general selector than an ID or specific class

Yeah, if they fail twice in a row when I know I completed them correctly, I don’t bother a third time.

fwiw, I used Kopia for around a year, but eventually the backup got corrupted with a BLOB not found error and there was no way to fix it.

similar to this issue, except that nothing would fix or improve the situation https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1087

and because it seemed to be an issue with the repo (not just with a snapshot), the remote copy was also borked. I couldn’t even list the snapshots.

I’ve since migrated to Rustic (though Restic might be more reliable today).

This seems to be the a similar issue too, but I was nowhere near the scale of this user. There are other similar reports that may or may not be linked to the same root cause, so it’s hard to say how rare this problem is.

It’s private as opposed to the public internet; there’s no “personal” in VPN.

I’m having problems opening the image, is it just me?

Bc I said so

You were given a list of scenarios above that list where vpns are useful. It seems you’re the one who don’t know what you’re talking about.

alright then, keep your secrets

Fix your title

Isn’t that creating hardlinks between source and dest? Hard links only work on the same drive. And I’m not sure how that gives you “time travel”, as in, browsing snapshots or file states at the different times you ran rsync.

Edit: ah the hard link is between dest and the link-dest argument, makes more sense.

I wouldn’t bundle fs and backup compression in the same bucket, because they have vastly different reqs. Backup compression doesn’t need to be optimized for fast decompression.

yeah, more often than not I notice the bottleneck being the storage drive itself, not rsync.

yeah, it doesn’t, it’s just for file transfer. It’s only useful if transferring files somewhere else counts as a backup for you.

To me, the file transfer is just a small component of a backup tool.

It works fine if all you need is transfer, my issue with it it’s just not efficient. If you want a “time travel” feature, your only option is to duplicate data. Differential backups, compression, and encryption for off-site ones is where other tools shine.

yeah, gotta play safe!

I heard of imposing operating systems (which I’m also against*), but never specific distros or DEs.
