Software to self-host online backup [closed]

Solution 1:

Rsync is probably your best open source option. It has a few draw backs, specifically with how it handles folder rename/moves, if you don't have too many of these operations, and can manage the bandwidth, it's the ticket.

Solution 2:

For small backup, I would look at just hosting a FTP server and then using an off the shelf / free backup utility that supports ftp which many do.

If you are using Windows, you can even just use the built in backup utility and push it to a network drive or again FTP.

You may want to look at the Microsoft Sync Toy.

For FTP, if you have a spare Windows machine - I recommend Filezilla Server, or for Linux, there are many choices of FTP.
