#32Bup. https://github.com/bup/bup Git + bloom filters + Python I backup hundreds of thousands of user accounts at cloud.sagemath.com using it, plus my own data, etc. I've been using it for four years and haven't found anything better for my requirements.
When I examined the available backup schemes that are were built off of a content-addressible storage scheme, all of them had one shortcoming or another except for Borg. If I remember correctly, Bup's shortcoming is that it is git based and hence architected to be immutable, meaning that pruning old backups is hairy.

#36Anything even remotely important gets printed out on paper. Even source code. I was burned once when one of my computers died and my NAS died while trying to recall the backup.
On a semi-related note, I find it easier to read printed code and mark changes than to stare at the screen.

So do you print the source again after every change? And what happens to the then obsolete paper with the previous version? (or do they get version numbers?)
