Is Duplicati + B2 still a good solution or should I consider another client? I like Duplicati but I've been having an issue with one of my backup jobs. It keeps throwing errors for no good reason. Since I'm looking at it anyway has there been anything cool and good coming out in the last couple years that I missed or is it still the best?

Test the restore is right. I just realized I may not even remember the passwords for my personal backups or be able to execute the restore. I certainly can't set up the backups correctly again in Duplicati. I built a new PC a few months ago. Haven't gotten around to setting up again till now and that's gonna be a whole thing. Next time I get a spurt of motivation for PC backups, I should write my own recovery manual. I don't use it enough to retain the info the long lengths of time between setups.

As much as automatic backups that preserve stuff in near real time to minimize gaps between backup and disaster is a laudable goal, it just wasn't worth the part where recovery is potentially complicated and backups seem to be specific to a PC / not always portable. I've been using the same file structure to store stuff for like 2 decades, I got files with last modified dates in 1999. I want my backup system to have that type of longevity. Oh I use Bitwarden, but I forget to put the passwords in there.

TOOT BOOT posted:I found Duplicati to be buggy and non-intuitive.  I set a filter so it wouldn’t try to suck up OneDrive files because those are perpetually locked and duplicati gets pissed about those files. Still insists on trying to back them up and throwing the same error messages and completely ignores the filters.
