I know this article but there is no comparison to OSX's TimeMachine.
I would like to find a backup software which is about the same as TimeMachine or better.
I would like to have such a software which can use some format of HDD which is suitable for big files (50 GB) in Linux.
I noticed that
- OSX format of HFS+ is not supported by Linux distros, since no maintainer of HFS in Linux since 2006
- NTFS format made by Debian 8.1 is not supported by older Linux distros
If Windows support, good.
Try with the Backups (Deja Dup) software
I did start the backup first time but I wanted to go to lunch after backup was running already two hours of just 10 GB files.
So it gave me this after the lunch
which is really insane, reported now here, since the software is not designed to have pauses in doing the backups.
