Submission + - What do you use for backups at home? 1

serviscope_minor writes: I am curious as to what other slashdotters use for backing up of home machines (and possible family and/or friends). I moved away from the "bunch of disks with some off site" method. I found most of the methods generally had one or more of the following problems: poor Linux support, weak security (e.g. leaking file names), outrageously expensive, hard to set up, tied to a single storage supplier I don't fully trust, entirely proprietary (which makes me doubt long term stability), lack of file history, reputation for slowness, and so on.

My current solution is unixy: separate tools for separate jobs. Borg for backups to a local machine. Rclone for uploading to business cloud storage, versioned cloud storage to provide resistance against bitrot and other corruption.

I am interested about what other slashdotters use, why and what your experience has been given more than superficial testing.
