       | I hear Restic is great. Alternatives I've heard of (providing
       | open-source incremental encrypted backups) include Borg,
       | SparkleShare, SyncThing, Kup, Areca, and rdedup. I'd be really
       | interested to hear how these compare; SyncThing and SparkleShare,
       | for example, are not really intended for backups, but they make
       | backups as a sort of side effect. Are all of these still live
       | projects? Has anyone tried more than one of them?

       | I don't know if this is the right place to discuss this, but I
       | found it interesting: there's something different about this
       | submission: it doesn't show up on the submitter's profile
       | exactly. HN has a 'second chance' system[1], this is the first
       | time I notice it in action. I once had a second-chance submission
       | and got an email. What I didn't notice at the time is that it's
       | not just resubmitted, it's pushed and the date is fudged. If you
       | look at the author's submission history, they submitted this
       | actually _prior_ to the submission of the other backup system
       | (Kopia) and both are listed as  "1 day ago", whereas this
       | submission (same item ID and with the same number of points) is
       | actually shown as "1 hour ago". I thought the second chance thing
       | would submit it again, this is kind of confusing though I guess
       | it makes sense to keep any comments already submitted. Thought
       | I'd remark upon it since this is the first time I see it (that
       | is, I got that email a while back about my own submission, but
       | didn't notice this technicality).
       | 
       | Edit: or maybe the email I got was an invitation to repost rather
       | than a second chance pool entry. I don't know for sure. Both
       | lists are available at https://news.ycombinator.com/lists
