Reommendation please: backup software/script that can be scheduled and encrypts

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’m still using Duplicity. It’s a command line program, so point #1 is handled by systemd timers, but it does the rest for me. With a udev rule and systemd automount, I even have it so I can swap out the backup drive and take it off-site occasionally.

restic checks all boxes except scheduling but is easily cron’ed.

It’s encrypted and has a ‘forget’ with a ‘–keep-last n’ switch.

I use DejaDup because it is simple to setup, does encryption, runs periodic validations, and is easy to restore at a specified date. BBC discalimer “other backup systems are available”

Have a look at kopia. But a proper backup is never set and forget.

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