Hi,

I currently use a program called copywhiz on windows that backs up any files or directories created after a certain date to a usb hard drive and runs once a day.

I want to transition fully to Linux. Is there any easy to use software that works on Linux that can do this?

P.S. I have tried creating a bash script to do this but for some reason it has trouble with the date part. So a software solution would be prefered.

    I’m using borg with vorta as a front-end, which seems to work quite well, with different possible backup targets

      2nd’ing Vorta+Borg. It’s also really easy to find off-site backup options compatible with Borg. I’m using BorgBase, which offers ridiculously cheap storage, the choice of EU and US destination, and supports the development of both Vorta and Borg.

          No benefit other than being a GUI. It has a complex interface that attempts to cover many Borg options but not all.

          I usually suggest Pika Backup instead because it has a very simple GUI that makes it easy to perform one-click backups. If you’re gonna use a GUI might as well get something out of it.
