Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for a docker that i can create some scheduled backups with. I would need to backup several directories (stored in different locations), would be ideal to have some UI that can handle/manage this.

 

As for the type of backups, i would need to setup sort of like a weekly full backup and daily incremental/differential backups with like a month or two of retention (frequency and retention would vary depending on what im backing up, this is just an example).

 

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers.

bump! anyone?

Crashplan?

Where are you backing up to? If you can deal with command line (its not that hard) check out rclone. Otherwise you can look at Duplicati.

I use crashplan personally to backup my appdata folder, works well.

Backing upto a user share on the raid or an unassigned devices drive. Backing up from also a user share or another mounted unassigned devices drive. What i used to do when i did this on a windows VM was to do daily/hourly type of backups to the unassigned devices drive (rather not have huge amount of activity on the raid) and more fuller backups (weekly? monthly?) to the raid.

I would rather not use the command line if possible. It would be ideal if there was a docker that i can manage that is designed for backups. If all fails, i will check out rclone.

 

Thanks for the duplicati suggestion, i didnt realise it had a docker. I did use duplicati before on windows, and had a horrible experience (where the backup didnt work... and lost a lot of data... and backups constantly stopped backing up due to an error, so it wouldnt actually back it up...). I dont know how i feel about it now, i can still give it a go i suppose.

 

Crashplan?

Have never used crashplan before, does it let you do multiple backups with multiple frequencies to multiple locations? Ill test it out.

You would be better using the Community Applications plugin to backup your AppData folder tbh.

Yep, it allows you to create multiple backup sets. It backs up in real time, so whenever a file changes it gets backed up. You can set file history so that you will have every version of any particular file for a length of time you specify. You can backup to either the Crashplan cloud (When you pay a subscription), another machine running Crashplan, or a specific location.

It's not the only thing I use crashplan for. I could use CA backup but still wouldn't have a copy offsite.

Ah, thats not really the bahaviour i want, that would be too much activity to some of the folders im trying to backup. I would rather have something running in a schedule, like once a day at 1am a full backup, and every 3 hours incremental backups for example. Ill try it out tomorrow, there might be an option to allow for this.

 

Does unix not have other alternatives to duplicati (if so, they must have dockers right?)? there were few really good app on windows that does this (some paid, some free).

There is an Rclone docker, which is pretty easy to set up.

Just search for it in CA.
