Downloading all of wikipedia for one language is abiut 90GB. Inhave it on a spare drive in case of an outage. That way if I need to research something I can still do.

In my first install I had different home and root partitions. That was a big mistake. Once set, you cannot resize them properly and you are fucked if they are not perfect for your need. In my case the root partition got to small. After some time I just reinstalled with a single partition and would do that again.

As far as I know, by definition, at least restic is not incremental. It is a mix of full backup and incremental backup.
Thanks for your hint towards borgbackup.
After reading the Quick Start of Borg Backup they look very similar. But as far as I can tell, borg can be encrypted and compressed while restic is always. You can mounting your backups in restic to. It also seems that restic supports more repository locations such as several cloud storages and via a special http server.
I also noticed that borg is mainly written in python while restic is written in go. That said I assume that restic is a bit faster based on the language (I have not tested that).

Zenlix@lemm.eeOPto Debian operating system@lemmy.ml•Install specific packages from debian testing1·2 months agoWhat kind of bugs where that?
As far as I skimmed the text they used bevy for their prototype not for the release or at least not as a whole.
Yeah. The idea of random stuff nesting into my pc where I will never find it again is also a big pain. That said using distroboy would make it much cleaner I guess.
Zenlix@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Newbie Post: I have gone "all-in" with Linux Mint 22.1, wiping Windows completely. All good...with two nagging problems.2·3 months agoIt seems that you are not aware in what format you installed your apps.
Before you install an app, be aware what format it is, that you are installing. Is it a debian package installed via the apt cli or via some store gui? Is it a snap package? Is it an appimage? Is it a flatpak? All of these are different and can have different issues (advantages/disadvantages). Often the same app is available in multiple formats.
This is a great video explaining what formats are out there: https://youtu.be/1lLZ-59xH3Y

All good...with two nagging problems.2·3 months agoA have never used mint and only used debian as a Workstation. If there is a permissions issue with an application, my first thought is how you installed you application?
When you say, you cant easily get tonthe content of a drive, what Desktop Environment do you us3 and what file explorer?
No idea what kiwix is.
