How to properly create 1:1 mirror with no shapshots #144
-
|
Hi! I have just gotten Vykar going and was wondering if Vykar supports mirroring without snapshots? I want to be able to backup a 1:1 copy of a folder to S3 storage and when I run another backup a week later, I'd like the changes to be uploaded/deleted. Right now I think the best way to do this is to set a retention of 1 and after running a backup to prune all the snapshots, but is there a better or more appropriate way to achieve this? |

If you want to back up to multiple repos, you just add multiple repos. If you are talking about syncing files, you may want to look into rclone. |

Got it thank you. I wasn't sure if Vykar had options somewhat similar for making just mirrors of data to a remote repo. I think what I am trying to accomplish is more along the idea of syncing files. I don't need snapshots for my use case. I'm just looking for a tool to create encrypted off-site backups in S3 weekly and want the repo to mirror the source. |

It's more stable to add multiple repos in that case. Otherwise you are building a backup chain. This adds failure modes and risks syncing a bad backup. Keeping it flat is the suggested way in this situation. |
