I am currently using Freefilesync Flatpak, but that app is not great at all. I dont want weird archives or anything, just to copy my filesystem to another drive.

Also, I want to mirror with the possibility to exclude folders. Mirroring means that the backup should be updated to look like my disk, including deletion of files.

I tested many tools in the Past and for some reason came back to FFS.

Best would be to have automatic backups once I plug in and decrypt the backup drive.

Thanks!

    Thanks! I have a local drive, does btrbk work there too?

    I am on Fedora so BTRFS ftw

      Yes of course. On the btrbk homepage they even describe how to set it up so that a backup gets triggered automatically when you plug in a designated backup drive.

      My setup is to create local snapshots and keep X amount of local snapshots. Copy snapshots to a remote server and keep a different amount of snapshots there. Finally I also have a backup drive and btrbk is setup to copy all my local snapshots to that backup drive when it’s plugged in.
