Rolling backups on Windows, Linux, and Google Drive

January 29, 2024 5:15 PM

I've got a 1Gb file I need to backup every night on a Windows box. I'd like to keep a directory with a rolling backing up of the last ten dailies and the Sunday of the last four weeks. Furthermore I would like to keep this directory in sync on: A local USB drive, a remote Linux server, and a Google Drive. I can patch it together with scripts but a turnkey solution would be better. Suggestions?

If you do go the patching it together with scripts route, Rclone will do most of the heavy lifting for you. It's what I use for this kind of thing and it works very well.

GoodSync is worth a look.

rsnapshot could handle the backups to a canonical destination and then you could use a couple of rsync commands that run after to sync from the canonical destination to the secondary and tertiary destinations.
