I repeat this process every couple months. -Bill Cattey > On Sep 23, 2015, at 5:21 PM, Rich Braun <richb at pioneer.ci.net> wrote: > > What do you use for offsite backup? > > Here's why I ask: For a few years I've been using CrashPlan as my primary > backup, and rsnapshot as a secondary. > > About once a year, it seems, CrashPlan does something troubling and it's > always felt like Linux takes a back-seat to their Windows and Mac platform. > > My CrashPlan setup failed again 48 hours ago, with a difficult-to-resolve > auto-update that messed up its omnibus-installed Java JRE.
