Anyone know of any user friendly, FOSS, backup programs that work on Windows? If they were cross-platform that would be a bonus. Asking for a friend (no really, a family member)

    This doesn’t meet your criteria because not FOSS, but hear me out…

    I used synctoy for a while and it can sometimes be glitchy. I switched to aomei backupper [sic]. It’s basically shareware with a few nags. It seems pretty solid.

    Only thing that I think would be better would be to use robocopy with the mirror switch. For help getting the syntax down and scheduling it with task scheduler, gpt3 should have you covered.

    Robocopy is already built into win7, 8, 10, and 11.

    For foss, I looked at bakula, kopia, and duplicati. It’s been a while since I looked into them so I honestly can’t recall why I didn’t switch to them. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
