>paying for software instead of pirating cracked versions
Just go to rutor.info and find a repack by KpoJIuK of Acronis True Image 2019

Couldn't you simply use a Linux live-cd to accomplish this?
Jayden Price
So are you saying proprietary software is better than FOSS alternatives?
Ryan Campbell
You should spend at LEAST $1000 on software or it's an inferior product.
Dominic Stewart
kek
Cameron Mitchell
No it's an inferior solution because it doesn't involve his wallet being emptied
Justin Powell
Not always, but if proprietary option is objectively better than FOSS alternative, then i'll pirate proprietary one.
Just like GIMP vs Adobe Photoshop CC 2019.
Nathan Russell
Yes, always and forever. Name one FOSS alternative that beats proprietary see you can't
Alexander Young
It's free you retard
John Murphy
Not always, for example qBittorrent (FOSS) is better than ad-infested, bolated μTorrent (proprietary).
But you're partly right, in most cases proprietary software is objectively better.
Tyler Parker
Nope, uTorrent is superior and endorsed by the MPAA, which is based.
All free software is garbage, stay pure proprietary for life
Kayden Martinez
no shit fuckface, where did I say otherwise? jam your fingers in your eyes as a lesson.
Nathaniel Hall
Backpedaling this hard

I very much approve of borg, you can use it something like:
#!/bin/sh -e
BORG_DIR="/path/to/backupstorage"
borg create --stats --show-rc --compression zstd "$BORG_DIR"::'various-{now}' /home /porn /stallman /memes
borg check "$BORG_DIR"
borg prune --list --show-rc --keep-daily 7 --keep-weekly 4 --keep-monthly 3 --keep-yearly 3 "$BORG_DIR" --prefix 'various-'
Obviously you can add as many create/prune sets and paths as you like. You then just run that regularly through your cron/init/at/systemd. It's a very effective solution.
Before it works, you also need to one-time the backup repository:
borg init --encryption=none /path/to/backupstorage
Variants with encrypted backups here: borgbackup.readthedocs.io
BTW, Restic is also fine if Borg doesn't have the features you need.

If you're using anything more complicated than rsync to make your backups something has gone horribly wrong
Justin Walker
Nah, borg is better.
You get compression on multiple retained backup versions, it has pruning already defined so you can easily do staggered prunes, and you also can verify the checksums on the backup alone (rsync -c is slower anyhow *even if* you have the original data). And a bunch of other advantages.
Dylan Cruz
I always suggest backing up everything every 3 or 6 months as a whole Clonezilla image even with rsync. This can save you from a huge headache down the line. Also to Clonezilla any new laptop or pre-built PC before doing ANYTHING. It would be the quickest way to do a "factory reset" on everything if you plan to sell or give to someone later.
