Given all the vendors that provide this service with both Windows and Linux clients, Code42 is the only one I am aware of that supports sets. For me, this was essential to prioritize urgent data over low risk changes in the event a disaster occurs while a large directory is taking days to upload. I would use sets with priorities and any changed data that was important would interrupt data of negligible importance.
This worked well, however Code42 always bothered me as the software delivery was low quality on Linux, it was a tar file and only implemented sysv scripts and they did not have a cli interface. I worked around this as long as I could until they retooled the app based on electron and as bad as the ui was, it got worse.
At this point I would rather switch vendors. Anyone know of another that meets the criteria, from what I can see it doesn't look like any support sets?
Thanks, jlc

Can't say about Windows clients, but for all my Linux machines, I'm using Rsnapshot, either on public or LAN servers. Basically uses rsync over SSH, with incremental snapshots. I have yet to find a better backup solution.

Thanks, it seems to be a really good app. :) I might use it for my local network backups.

I know of rsync, and the variants. We rolled an entire solution at a previous gig with it which meant we had to implement daemons, schedules and all the related infra. I could almost justify it except I need offsite storage that I don’t want to also manage in addition to.

Hands down Veeam Endpoint Backup for Windows clients to a secure samba share. https://www.veeam.com/windows-endpoint-server-backup-free.html
1. Veeam Endpoint Backup is FREE (Seriously)
2. I backup to a Samba share that is locked to the user computer name and unique password a. CentOS 6.9, Samba 3.x, RAID1 backup array 6 TB. (About 78% full) b. WDC WD6002FFWX-68TZ4N0 Red Pro drives c. 40 Windows clients on a 1g connection to BackupPC server (in name only) d. Backups scheduled over a 12 hour period in the evening, e. TWO off-site backups via USB 3.0 interface and external drives using rsync (takes roughly 6-9 hours depending on load) f. ProLiant ML310e Gen8 v2, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz, 8g ram, SSD / drive
3. YES, I've had to use it for BMR and it does work! a. A BMR over the network is slow but works. Particular machine was a 10/100 client.
Been using it for not quite 3 years now after finally giving up on BackupPC.
I wrote a simple script to tell me when machines haven't backup in over 5 days so I can go pay attention to them.
It's pretty much set and forget.
Regards,
Richard

Sounds like a good solution for PC backups.
Instead of using USB drives, you can set up an offsite server with a cheap server with big drives. OVH low cost brands offer this:
https://www.kimsufi.com/us/en/servers.xml
https://www.soyoustart.com/us/server-storage/
The cheapest ones only have 1 disk (not softraid) but since it´s a second copy, depending on your budget you can assume the risk that the offsite backup could fail (considering you are already assumming some risk involved on using USB drives).
