      UrBackup is too heavy for my taste, I tested it but the interface was too 1980s

      saltstack + robocopy + 7za

      How do you do incremental backups with change block tracking? That method doesn't do it. So you're doing full backups and copying full backups every time?

      UrBackup doesn't have CBT. Not many things do. You can buy it additionally, but it isn't part of UrBackup.

      It does, if you purchase it. 🙂

        I can't answer for him because I have no idea how he's using it. But that does work if you're only copying data from the data volumes. That's pretty much what ReaR does, just replace 7za with tar.

        Same with rsnapshot. Except it uses hard links.

            It's really cheap, like $17 IIRC.

                Per client. Not correcting you, just pointing that out.

                      No, mostly only need SQL backups, not system backups.

                        I use ReaR, and it does do incrementals. However, I only use it for a few one-off physical Linux systems for disaster recovery purposes.

                        I like the way MBS (as how Microsoft defines as "Modern Backup Solutions") work. Most do CBT very well, like Veeam, SC-DPM, and other modern solutions.

                          Sure they're great. My point is if you're not doing system backups, it's kind of not worth it.

                              I literally refer to these as legacy backups, lol.
