My favorite one is the one I wrote myself for myself ;)
The point I like :
1. the backup is a simple copy. I can retrieve it without any specific
programs.
2. if a file changed, before to be copied, the backup file is moved to a
specific repertory
whose name is the date and hour. So if I destroy a file and backup
the destroyed one, the old
non-destroyed one is still available.
3. Since the program is anyway performing a long os.walk operation, in
the same time, it performs `git commit`
in the directories that need it.
4. My program is command-line only. Works fine in tty
Points that are of no importance (very personal and adapted to my
specific case !) :
1. time. One backup takes between 10 minutes and one hour. I don't
really care.
2. space. Since my backup is a copy (and copy of copies), my backup
directory takes ~150Go
while my home is about 25 Go.
Hope it answer your question.
Have a nice day
Laurent
