hello, as always: imho (!) tar is great, and well kown - but not particularly for "incremental backups over the net" ... this is what rsync is/was for. idk ... whatever the problem is with rsync, but apparently thats none of my business ;)) you could use, and which usage is very similar to rsync: rclone * https://rclone.org/ intro * https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/4x-faster-network-fil... and additionally its also faster than rsync ... just my 0.02€ |

Huh. Exact same thoughts here. I never used rclone because I don't use AWS or similar, just lots of bare metal on and off my LAN that I can ssh to. I am quite comfortable with rsync's quirks and args, so not sure I'll quit using it, but maybe I'll try rclone next time I do a massive transfer. Similarly I've been shown that ddrescue can act as a full dd replacement, but I'm so used to dd I still tend to use it.
