What do you wish you knew before starting grad school?

• BorgBackup

  333 10,643 9.3 Python

  Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  

And google docs / apple cloud etc. aren't proper backups. They can cancel your account, be inaccessible, or hacked even. There's software like duplicity that can upload encrypted backups to multiple services, which are handy. But in any case, if you're doing cloud backups, do do redundant local backups too. My setup is I've a USB stick tacked onto a Raspberry Pi computer, and use something called borg to do daily backups over SSH.

• Duplicity
