Subject: [9fans] advice? fossil+venti (p9),
 vbackup+venti (p9p) vs. some other means of backup
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 3616e474-ead9-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Dear all,

I'd like to ask for an advice/experience.

Does anybody rely on a backup scheme using, say,
vbackup+venti on linux? Does it work well, or would
you recomment other means of doing a backup?

I guess there are also people using fossil+venti on
p9. Are those happy?

I am looking for a sustainable means of backup,
mainly on linux, and am avaluating different options
(rdiff-backup, rsnapshot, dump/restore, rdup...)

I have some 500 GB to care about (usual home use +
some backup of computational data)

Thanks for your comments
and sorry for a bit vague question.

Ruda
