I like to roll my own using rsync... but mostly just wanted to point
out that you flagged your message as off topic, but it couldn't be

<div>I am looking for a recommendation on backup
software. I have a backup server and I have two
local machines and one remote machine to backup (all
Debian or Ubuntu - no Windows machines to worry
about). The backup server is just command line
Debian - no gui - since I only use ssh to talk to
it. I have a new 4 TB drive ready for backups and
don't know what to do with it..;)<br>
<br>
</div>
I used rsnapshot for awhile, but the backups had
issues from time to time, and I am tired of
troubleshooting it. Also the reporting tool
rsnapreport didn't seem to work. With rsnapshot I was
seeing ~ 1TB of backup data on my backup drive.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have use backuppc in the past, but it seems to be on
the decline now and has been for awhile.<br>
<br>
</div>
I started using a cloud backup solution, altdrive, but
they are closing shop in February. Also, it was java
based, and used a lot of CPU to make backups. It could be
throttled, but then the backups took a really long time
(hours to days). Finally, I had great difficulty restoring
from the backups - I was told they were too big and the
server kept timing out! So I had to reconfigure all of my
backups to smaller sets of directories.<br>
<br>
</div>
So, any suggestions? Inexpensive cloud backup? Local backup?
I have seen recommendations for Borg for local backups over
ssh and it has a web gui front end which may be useful. I
like that it is in Python (I can read it as opposed to
perl...). Other suggestions?<br>
<br>

Thanks!<br>
