    I’ve had some trouble with NextCloud as well. For me it just feels sluggish and bloated.

    Someone in another thread here said “NextCloud can do everything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well” and that seems to mirror my experience with it for the most part.

    Of all the self-hosted containers I’ve set up NextCloud gave me the most trouble

    Kopia is my favorite by far!

    It’s super fast and has tons of great features including cutting-edge encryption and several compression options.

    It has a GUI and is cross-platform.

    It can do both cloud and local/network backups.

    That includes locally mounted disks, SFTP, rsync, or any network share/etc accessible from your machine as well as many cloud options.

    The de-duplication stuff is also killer. If you upload the same file (or chunk of data) in different folders or even from different systems it will map them to the same backup storage potentially saving you a ton of storage space.

    It also uses a rolling hash system so if you modify just a handful of megabytes from a 25GB file many times, only the megabytes of changes will need to be backed up to store the version history. You do not need to store 25GB every time you modify that file.

    There’s a ton of other goodies as well!

    And it’s all FOSS!

    I use it to backup to an external hard drive, a NAS, and to Amazon S3. You can configure multiple repositories like that and have them all run at the same time (subject to their individual scheduling policies of course)

    I agree with that other reply.

    Linus knew just enough to be dangerous.

    My experience with most Windows users and their first encounter with using a Linux terminal is every single warning/error they see no matter how mundane is a big deal.

    Things like the boot text or a random apt install on Linux will often display various warnings or even “errors” that are really of no concern but ime tend to freak out new users.

    Linus is in that narrow band where he doesn’t really know shit but knows just enough to be falsely confident and ignore all the warnings/errors instead of just the irrelevant ones
