    #OpenBSD friends - I need help with backups.

    I make backups on external USB disks. Now what tool should I use? I don't need any deduplication and stuff like that.
    What I need is quick restore procedure.

    So what should I use ? I was thinking rsync or dump/restore.

    What would you suggest considering above ?

        @as400 Not OpenBSD but I have been using rsnapshot for like 20 years on Linux.

        It's brain dead simple. No encryption or anything. If you need encrytion at rest leverage your OS file system tools.
