Re: Backup application recommendations
I would look for Bacula or Bareos I think that it has most of the features that you request. (I haven't used it on NetBSD/FreeBSD, just on Linux long time ago, but I am sure that it must be supported for backup to disk, and to tape at least on FreeBSD).
Re: Backup application recommendations
I don't think it is. Deduplication is pretty fundamental to how Borgbackup works. For instance, all backups are full ones, and they become incremental by virtue of duplicated data being stored only once, across backups. Sad Cloudsschrieb am So. 1.

Do you know if it is possible to disable deduplication? I don't think I would trust this feature.

Is this the best way though? Probably; if you upgrade perl you probably need to rebuild/reinstall every perl modules. -- Manuel BouyerNetBSD: 26 ans d'experience feront toujours la difference --
Upgrading perl breaks netdisco
I'm sorry if I missed something obvious. I searched a bit and couldn't find the proper solution. I have a raspberry pi I use to test some Netdisco stuff. I recently upgraded it from jessie to stretch, and it broke Netdisco: $ netdisco-web start Attempting to create directory /home/netdisco/perl5 Unable to create /home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/5.24.1: No such file or directory at /home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/local/lib.pm line 686. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/netdisco/bin/localenv line 7. $ ~/bin/localenv cpanm --notest App::Netdisco Attempting to create directory /home/netdisco/perl5 Unable to create /home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/5.24.1: No such file or directory at /home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5/local/lib.pm line 686. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/netdisco/bin/localenv line 7. 5.24.1 seems to be the new version of perl, and this directory does not exist. Some older ones do: $ pwd /home/netdisco/perl5/lib/perl5 $ ls -1d 5* 5.20.0 5.20.2 I'm sure I could just re-install and connect to the database that's already there. Is this the best way though? Thanks. Andy
Re: Backup application recommendations
I like Borgbackup. It has remote repositories, encryption, deduplication (solving the issue with interrupted backups), checksumming but no GUI, I think. -- Benny Sad Cloudsschrieb am So. 1.

Backup application recommendations
Hello, could anyone recommend a backup application for a few desktop PCs at home running Linux and NetBSD. Something simple and easy to use: - NetBSD or FreeBSD will be a central backup server. - Need fully automated, setup-and-forget application, which can do full and incremental backups to a remote server, with various retention policies, etc. - Need to be able to cope with unexpected reboots (i.e. user shutting down a PC) and later continue backup where it was interrupted, instead of starting from the beginning. - Would be nice to have periodic checksumming of backup data, in case of bit rot. Alternatively I could use FreeBSD + ZFS. - Would be nice to have GUI and encryption, but not critical. - Would be nice to have easy, point-and-click restore functionality, but not critical. - Doesn't need to be free, i.e. I'm willing to pay for software, as long as it is not too expensive for what it is. Thanks.
