Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

  1. Kopia .kopiaignore
  2. Duplicacy .duplicacy
  3. Borg .borgignore
  4. FreeFileSync .ffs_ignore

How to set up like this with features -

  1. Forever full backups/DeDuplication
  2. Option Delete changes older than x.
  3. How to Only backup Select Data, like only personal data,
  4. Save a "Ghost" for other data (internet data not personal), which is only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure.
  5. "File Change Tracker" to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed.
  6. "File History" where I see previous version of files.
  7. Config from inside folders for disks (not OS) with e.g..backupconfigfile containing e.g. backup=1, or have select file backuped/not-backed-up.

To Backup

  • External and Internal Disk (files) and OSes to backup,
  • Backup select data from Disks,
  • all separately backup-ed to the same backup disk, .
