Real backup to Google Drive missing

[Alex34553756734325]

Hi,

I'm currently running Ubuntu. I'd like to change distrib since a while but I never found one with Deja Dup completely installed and working (on last Mint I checked Deja Dup was working but no schedule possibility!!!).

I'm interested with your concept of an immutable file system for security, but I think one essential need is a cloud based backup. So I'd like to know if you plan to implement an easy cloud backup tool like Deja Dup?

Thanks

The scheduling feature depends on system services (like systemd timers), and some distros disable or don’t integrate it fully, which is why you may have seen limited options on Linux Mint. If you’re looking for alternatives that work well with immutable setups, you might want to try: BorgBackup or Restic (command-line, very reliable for cloud backups). Duplicati (GUI-based, supports scheduling and many cloud providers). Right now, I’m not aware of immutable distros shipping Deja Dup with full scheduling enabled out of the box, but using one of the above tools or installing Deja Dup via Flatpak — can give you similar functionality. Hope that helps! — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#202 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/BCQYAVOOIJJ7YJOZJGEHYHT3O4NZNAVCNFSM6AAAAACELXXHHKVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43URDJONRXK43TNFXW4Q3PNVWWK3TUHMYTIMJZGAZDIMQ> .

Hi. No, we don't have any plans to implement a cloud backup tool, as you can already utilize existing tools, including Deja Dup.
