![]() I spent a lot of time thinking about these backup tools and I've landed on good old rclone with -backup-dir and/or B2's LifeCycle rules. But does the developer of BlobBackup know? And has (s)he accounted for them?) (but here again, I know restic has concerns about some security issue using compression with encryption. Then again, I do not know what they are doing with compression. There are some very good reasons to use fixed-length chunks but, in general, you'd expect it's overall efficiency to be lower. I am very surprised you got the best size reduction with BlobBackup as it has fixed-length chunks (blobs). I am not sure how the others do it but also, I think they use larger chunks. Duplicacy talks about how they use the same chunker to break that up. Also, one issue that all of these chunk-based tools have is that as the blobs get smaller, the database grows! (for example, a 2 gb file will have 8192 blobs at the default chunk size of 256kb for BlobBackup. Or people who are experts to at least weight in. That may or may not be a deal breaker but when it comes to encryption and recoverability, you want to know more about it. Also, if it matters to you, the spec is not posted. That to me seems like it is a good candidate for a tertiary backup. Has anyone else tried it yet? Wanted to get some thoughts before i commitīlobBackup is very new and feels, at least from the site, to still be in active development. So far BlobBackup is looking like the clear winner for me. good support and very active developerĬons: no vss on Windows. ![]() restore didnt work properly for me even once. Pros: free and open source (honestly thats it)Ĭons: super slow. ![]() 49.99 USD/computer one time purchaseĬons: slow. lots of features (cpu usage, wifi selection, vss). 50 USD/computer/year is quite expensive for my business data considering the alternatives active fourmsĬons: clunky ui (feels unfinished honestly). Transitioning from backblaze personal to B2 with a separate client because I needed more control and speed.
