I am using duplicati and thinking of switching to Borg. What do you use and why?

  • I never used the command line with Kopia besides starting it up in server mode and used the web based GUI to configure, it was pretty simple to get everything setup that way. You may want to give it another try using Kopia in that mode.

        You can use the web ui remotely.

        Personally I use it from command line, though, and my only complaint is that it’s too easy to start a backup you didn’t intend to… Buut if you’re careful about usong the kopia snapshot command then it’s fine.

        • Oh I thought the webui was only for server mode.

          I just quickly glanced through the manuals of both restic and kopia. I think my trouble with kopia is that its style feels kind of weird. I’m just not able to wrap my head around it well.

          kopia snapshot create /dir is shorter but more confusing than restic -r repo backup /dir
