Can we talk backups/file syncing /g/?
>Unison
+ CLI and TUI

What do you use /g/? I tried unison which is nice but really slow on windows. Syncthing is cool too but not very minimal and too heavy for the rPi imo.
Anyone tried git-annex?
btrfs send/receive
I use Seafile on my raspi
+Dropbox-like, open sauce
-my server instalation is unstable
I use Dropbox for work/university related stuff + some personal things like photos, books, etc. I also have an external hard drive which I use exclusively for backup purposes, I update it once a month or so.
Am I doing it wrong?

>- Early development stage
I'm synching a few files (around 200MB) and it worked. Can't really compare because never used BitTorrentSync or similar, but it has done its job.
>- Resource hog on slow machines
What?! It's running good on a raspberry_pi and it doesn't block the CPU. What are you even talking about?
>>53552343
Rsync and cron, that's all you need faggot.
>-my server instalation is unstable
Care to elaborate on this?
rPi 1 or 2?
>>53552660
Yeah because every network ever allows you to ssh in and out

I'm syncing about 20GB on a rPi 2 (encrypted) and it surely takes 100% CPU on occassion when 'scanning'
>>53552687
pi 2, but when I open up the GUI-Web-Frontend it's showing me it uses ~4%. After a few second falls to ~<1%.
I guess it runs also good on a pi 1. Currently not synching, but I guess it wasn't much if it's synching (maybe ~20-30%?).

>I'm syncing about 20GB on a rPi 2 (encrypted) and it surely takes 100% CPU on occassion when 'scanning'
Okay, I don't use that much. But it scans only once or not? After that is slow down the usage of the CPU.

Just set up a RAID 60 and don't waste your money triplicating data
I'm using Bittorrent Sync and I like it. The devs are constantly adding features and improving stability which is nice.

Every X minutes as set in the settings pane no?
Not sure haven't really been using it a lot lately

Huh? How much automation do you need?
>not cross-platform
What the fuck.

Would use this, but, is btrfs stable now?
I'm using btsync right now on my phone and laptop. Phone gets toasty when transferring multiple gigs but that rarely happens.
>>53552758
>RAID with parity
NTY. I'll stick with RAID1 with an additional spare disk. Also I can't RAID my phone or laptop, I rely on a separate machine for backups.
>>53552814
Stable enough for me. I've never had any problems with it, and it has some really neat features.
>>53552830
Is re-balancing still a problem?
Can fsck really break stuff?
>>53552874
I've rebalanced several times after removing/adding drives to the pool and it worked fine.
>Can fsck really break stuff?
Not that I know of.
All of this is anecdotal evidence though. Just read the btrfs wiki or similar.

robocopy "SOURCE" "DESTINATION" /mir
All my routines in a .bat file. (which could easily be automated if i wanted to)
