Hi,
I’m a new user of duplicacy-web (running it in a docker container on my NAS) and I have a few questions to make sure that I’m getting started on the right footing:
-
How should I group my storage (with a given cloud provider)? Say I use Google Drive. Should I backup everything (even from multiple devices) into the same storage on Google Drive? When would it make sense to have separate storages, say in different directories of Google Drive?
-
Is it possible to rename the backup id (perhaps with the cli version)? Say I backup my Lenovo laptop and use the backup id “Lenovo laptop” for that? Then I switch to a new laptop, say an HP, transfer all my file and I want to rename the backup id to “HP laptop”, since now I’m backing up from the new laptop. Is that possible? Or would I just create a new backup id, backup into the same storage and deduplication would take care of the rest?
-
If I only have certain subdirectories of my file tree that I want to backup, do I need to use (or should I use) separate backup ids or can/should I use one backup ids and use filters?
Example: Let’s take the (partial) tree:
/backuproot
–Media
----NAS
------Backup
--------My Books
--------My Music
----NASCrypt
------Backup
--------Personal
------Temp
If I want to backup “Personal” (and its subfolders) and “Media” and its subfolders, should/can I use separate backup ids?
Thanks in advance for any help.
