As per title really. I need a backup solution for backing up my home directory to an external USB drive that;

  1. I can schedule to run x times per week
  2. Encrypts the contents (into an encrypted zip file is fine)
  3. Puts the encrypted backup onto an external USB drive
  4. Keeps the last x amount of backups.

I’ve found loads that can do one or more of these things but not all of them. I really like LuckyBackup for example but it doesn’t encrypt. I just want something I can set and forget.

System is LMDE 6 (Faye).

    I use borgbackup together with borgmatic and vorta. Does what you want and works very well.
