Developer Workstation Backups
by a2tech on Hacker News.
What is everyone using these days? I used to be a firm believer in Crashplan for both my Linux servers as well as my Mac development machines, but Crashplan really doesn’t play well with all the new automatic syncing stuff that Apple has (like fetching copies of your images and files only when necessary) and Dropbox’s intelligent sync things. On my Macs Crashplan is always mired in some high CPU activity and consuming disk space. And they stopped supporting Linux machines that don’t have a graphical environment (yes I know all the tricks for managing it remotely and they’re worse). So long story short, what are people using to reliably backup their machines without a lot of fuss? Most services don’t support Macs or they don’t support Linux, or they don’t do infinite revisions.
