   @marmarta I use restic, borg and wyng, basically I want this for a backup solution:

   - encryption
   - remote storage (ssh or s3) that does not require an agent on the remote
   - ability to verify a backup
   - ability to check the repository integrity
   - ability to restore a backup (that's the point of the tool though 😅 )
   - ability to exclude data (when applicable)
   - deduplication of data within repository
   - being able to configure auto deletion/pruning of old data using retention rules
   - bonus if you can backup multiple hosts to the same repository and use deduplication
   - show me some stats

   The biggest issues I had with backups tools:

   - inability to prune old data from a repo because the storage is full (restic problem)
   - a not clear documentation about integrity check: there are repository checks and data check, the former is quick because it just validates metadata while the other requires validating the whole repository data.

     I'm thinking about making #UX for a #backup tool for #QubesOS - I wonder, dear Mastodon people, what backup solutions (for entire system or for parts of it) do you like? Which do you hate? I know that the ideal is "backup just happens", but that has never truly been my experience with, well, anything. The current state of backuping in Qubes is atrocious, so I want to look to my betters on that.
