@celfred Alors, J'utilisais #Borg. Demain je teste le #Plakar et au vu de ce que j'ai lu, je pense l'adopter.

Borg frontends for Gnome that aren’t DejaDup*

Suggestions?

* because no earthly power can bring DejaDup to remember my credentials, and my time is too precious to deal with this shit

#linux #gnome #backup #borg

Correction:

- using two `mv` saves time because copying is not needed;
- using two `mv` avoids risking `ENOSPC` during the sync;
- using two `mv` does *not* help with the backup part.

Toying with #borg a little more, even after a clean `mv` of the parent directory, it goes through all files again, and I'm looking at 14+ minutes again.

All that with NVMe on the left, SSD on the right, and a somewhat limited machine on the right side (running borg): 2 cores (Pentium G3240 @ 3.10GHz).

And of course, because of the copy aspect, #borg create (with --progress and --stats for good measure) actually needs to chug through all those (big) files to see which chunks are new etc. so that's also taking a long while.

Enough to let me learn how to parse this:

151.33 GB O 148.94 GB C 993.03 kB D 281558 N

and to start thinking everything is going to be fine (almost everything being Compressed already, almost nothing Deduplicated).

I thought I'd verify what I thought I was remembering.

But yeah, if you know you're renaming stuff, it makes sense to:

- run unison;
- rename on the left;
- rename on the right;
- run unison (to confirm).

Renaming on one side leads to lengthy comparison operations, until:

new dir ----> new-name
deleted ----> old-name

But everything is *copied*, not moved, even with the “shortcut” optimization.

Hopefully I don't have a #borg tip to share in a few minutes…

et quelque part ca reste dans le principe faire une seule chose et le faire bien !

@Beurt suis sur Borg depuis des années (2 macOS, 2 freebsd, 1 linux) vers différentes cibles.
J'ai écrit là dessus il y'a longtemps : https://www.patpro.net/blog/index.php/2019/04/30/3201-moving-to-borgbackup/
Et plus récemment j'ai longuement comparé #Borg, #Restic et #Kopia : https://www.patpro.net/blog/index.php/2024/03/07/3576-borg-kopia-restic-un-comparatif/

Mais parfois, ça part en sucette et il faut le garder à l'esprit : https://www.patpro.net/blog/index.php/2024/02/11/3564-borgbackup-its-complicated/

Dans tous les cas je ne suis pas prêt à changer de crèmerie, je suis bien avec Borg.
