home/yourdirectory or /etc/opt) Snapshot IDĪ Snapshot ID is a unique identifier for the repository you want to backup. RepositoryĪ Repository is the location of the files that you want to backup. This approach took me a few minutes to get my head around, but now it makes perfect sense. In Duplicacy, they are explicit and uniquely configured. Again, wizard-driven backup solutions use these same concepts, but they're abstracted. To get started with Duplicacy, you first need to understand some concepts and definitions. I'll use this version for my laptop, but will use the command line version for backing up my NAS to the cloud.

My experience with backup software has typically been wizard-driven: The Duplicacy web-GUI version has a lengthy free trial period, so you have plenty of time to decide if it works for you. The pricing for a personal license is a little outside the norm - not quite SaaS, not quite a one-time purchase - but I ended up getting a 5-year license for $40. That's fine with me - I'm happy to contribute to open source projects through commercial offerings.

While the core Duplicacy backup engine is open source, the web-GUI version is not, nor is it free. If you're comfortable working with the command line, there is no cost for a CLI license since it's open source.

(Do you know how to recover your data, especially since your backup software was running on your now dead computer?)Īfter investigating a number of backup solutions, including TimeShift and Duplicati, I decided upon Duplicacy, mostly based upon community reviews.ĭuplicacy is developed by Acrosync.

On the Mac, I backed up locally to a 1 TB external USB 3.0 drive using Time Machine and off-site to Dropbox and Amazon S3 using Arq Backup.

Everything was backed up using Mac software, and I didn't have a plan for Linux backup.

I switched to Pop!_OS as my daily driver but I didn't yet move my files from my old MacBook Pro.
