ElkarBackup is a free open-source backup solution based on RSync/RSnapshot. It's basically a web wrapper around rsync/rsnapshot, which means that your backups are just files on a filesystem, utilising hardlinks for tracking incremental changes. I find this result more reassuring than a blob of compressed, (encrypted?) data that [more sophisticated backup solutions](https://geek-cookbook.funkypenguin.co.nz/)recipes/duplicity/) would produce for you.

Have a read of the [Elkarbackup Docs](https://docs.elkarbackup.org/docs/introduction.html) - they introduce the concept of **clients** (_hosts containing data to be backed up_), **jobs** (_what data gets backed up_), **policies** (_when is data backed up and how long is it kept_).

If you click on the **name** of the backup, you can also drill down into the file structure, choosing to restore a single file or directory.
