jesus christ Windows users love paying out the ass for multiple facets of shitty software lmao

Wintoddlers should be banned on sight. They're a disgusting plague.

>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?

So are you saying proprietary software is better than FOSS alternatives?

You should spend at LEAST $1000 on software or it's an inferior product.

kek

No it's an inferior solution because it doesn't involve his wallet being emptied

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.

Yes, always and forever. Name one FOSS alternative that beats proprietary see you can't

It's free you retard

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.

Nope, uTorrent is superior and endorsed by the MPAA, which is based.

All free software is garbage, stay pure proprietary for life

no shit fuckface, where did I say otherwise? jam your fingers in your eyes as a lesson.

Backpedaling this hard
Op talked about if he should buy software
Neck yourself retard

The OP literally has
>Whats a Jow Forums approved option?
in it, sweetie.

>should i spend my money on
You can't spend money on free software you retarded vermin

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/en/stable/usage/init.html

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

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.

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.
