@rbarclay said in Ongoing, automatic backups:
syncthing sounds interesting for keeping some files/folders, well, synchronized
The main purose yes, but also, you can use it like a saving service, with only one device that is the "master" and another the "backup" (only filed from the master will be cloned on the backup, not the other way).
Also, it works not only on local network, you can use it with internet access (so you can save on your backup wich is at home, when master not at home).
Anyway, i just mentionned it so you know about it, i seems your skills are way above mine in using Linux possibilities, and syncthing is more for people like me lol.
