Which other disk backup solution do you recommend other than Clonezilla?

2 years ago by tiz to c/selfhosted

I’m going to make a backup of 2TB SSD today. I will use clonezilla mainly because that’s all I know. But do you recommend any other ways for any reason?

I want to keep the process simple and easy. And I will likely take backup once a month or so repeatedly. It doesn’t have to be ready all the time. If you need more clarification, ask away.

btrfs or zfs send/receive. Harder to do if already established, but by far the most elegant, especially with atomic snapshots to allow versioning without duplicate data.
