From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

restic, and there are a bunch of 3rd party utilities to help with things, including multiple GUIs. Restic has build in support for several cloud storage providers (including the most excellent BackBlaze), and encrypts data so you can feel safe using them.
What I like most about restic is that you can mount your backups and browse them like a filesystem; it allows you to easily pull out a single file from a filesystem backup, or view different versions of one, without having to remember a path or restore.
oh another restic user
yeah restic is a very good choice
it even works with incremental backups so you don't waste as much space as other solutions
I use Restic, also. It even deduplicates files when backing them up.
Came here to say restic! It's really good.
