as far as free alternatives, i saw no mention yet of borg[0]/borgmatic[1], which i quite like -- think 'rsync with encryption and pruning'.

The problem with Borg is that it requires an actual mounted FS or SSH (with a live mounted FS on the other end). You can't just point it at offline storage.

Totally a great option if you do have live storage to backup to but personally I don't have a full server worth of disk spare at any given time.

Ignore. Deleted. I thought the linked-to article was from a third party. Please enjoy HN frontpage without our butting in.
