The difference between a sync and a backup is illustrated quite adeptly.

    I got sick of paying for backblaze. Duplicati is a good free solution. You just need cloud storage to use it, which you might already be paying for in other services.

      Backblaze is way cheaper than most ‘standard’ cloud storage though?

      I use borgbase. It’s not the same, but it’s cheap and not stored in the US.

      I just set up a launchd task on my Mac to run my Borg jobs and I never have to think about it. You could do the same with systemd on linux. If you’re on Windows why are you still on Windows?
