Hey fellow nerds.
How do you handle large-ish volume backups between Linux hosts? About 1TB of data. Source has 100Mbps upload. Receiving end is Gbit.
Incrementals will be essential, since full backup is nearly a day's worth of upload.
FOSS suggestions only at this stage. It's currently performing backups put of my control with Veeam and I'm a bit nervous about the whole situation being out of my hands.

@kauer@aus.social Thank you - I'll make rsync work. It's what I've been using for the last few weeks since I started getting cold feet about the Veeam backup. But was wondering if there might be a better thing. Probably not!

@kauer@aus.social This is a good question. I think 'better' for me at the moment is some sort of versioning where I can choose the state of the directory in a specific time.

@DrHyde@fosstodon.org Snapshots is an interesting idea. But moving those snapshots offsite is pretty significant when it comes to bandwidth, yes?

@aarbrk@mstdn.mx Yeah, rsync is great. But it doesn't (as far as I'm aware) do versioning as such.
