backups

After I recently setup rsnapshot as my backup solution, which can be found here https://blog.wretchednet.com/post/rsnapshot/ I started looking at options on how to remotely backup my workstation. I used Backblaze for a while but I wasn’t too happy with their interface. I looked at getting another cloud backup solutions but each one would either cost quite a bit more per month and or had similar or worse user interfaces. I decided to go with Google Drive since I’ve had it for years, its free for up to 15 GB, and the interface is simple to index and use.

I think of myself as an advanced Linux users. I have been using it exclusively for over 10 years plus and as a homelab enthusiast and a network/system administrator for my job, I use it every single day. But I hadn’t taken the time to sit down and really give rsnapshot a decent try. I have worked with rsync and scripting during all of this time but now that my needs are expanding, rsync is not keeping up with the scale.
