Since this topic is quite esoteric, can you fill us in on some background?
* Is rustic available in Fedora? Is it FOSS?
* Is BackBlaze a popular storage option nowadays? Is there something distinguishing about it?
* Can you compare this to duplicity/Amazon S3, which wecovered in July 2017? https://fedoramagazine.org/taking-smart-backups-duplicity/
I can't view this preview, but (as the author of previous duplicity articles), I would love to give this a read.

Try this (note, good for <= 24 hours only): https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=20104&preview=1&_ppp=272ebd9e83
Cool! I like it. Curt, would you be able to read the existing 3 backing up articles and maybe make this a 4th in that series? It would be great to get more backup solution articles. Someone in the comments suggested borg too.

Thanks Link,
I'll take a look at those as well.

My apologies if this is not the correct protocol but the article I wrote is ready for review.

I also wanted to make a change, but I noticed that it won't allow me to since I changed the status to Pending Review instead of Draft.

Thanks !
Hi Curt, we'll look at this as a pitch/draft next meeting. One thing I wanted to ask -- does Secure Boot affect this process at all? I don't think so, but it would help if you could confirm that on some SB-enabled hardware.
Hi Paul,
As far as I know I don't think it will.
Since you are interrupting the kernel boot process after control has already been passed to the kernel from the UEFI, I don't think it should have an effect. But my current machine is still booting via legacy mode so I currently don't have a way to test it.

I asked around some folks who know a lot more than me and confirmed that's right. Thanks Curt!

Hi Paul,
In reference to your questions:
1) Is rustic available in Fedora? Is it FOSS?
Easy: Fast: Verifiable: Secure: Encryption with AES-256 in counter mode and authenticating it using Poly1305-AES. Efficient: Data deduplication Free: Is licensed under the BSD 2-Clause License and actively developed on GitHub.
The easiest way to get restic is the pre-compiled binary on the GitHub page. So you don't even have to install it. Just run the executable.
2) Is BackBlaze a popular storage option nowadays? Is there something distinguishing about it?
BackBlaze is becoming popular due to it's free B2 cloud storage. ( Cloud storage that's astonishingly easy and low-cost. 500 million GB stored & over 25 billion files recovered (and counting))
The first 10 GB of storage are absolutely free.
Can you compare this to duplicity/Amazon S3, which we covered in July 2017? https://fedoramagazine.org/taking-smart-backups-duplicity/
To me one of the biggest differences is Amazon S3 only gives you a free trial for 1 year and that even has a limitation of only 5 GB. As I've previously stated, the first 10 GB of cloud storage with B2 is absolutely free forever.
After the 1st 10 GB, the pricing per GB is only $0.005 while Amazon S3 is $0.021 per GB which is 320% more. restic is a newer application that is very active on GitHub.

By interesting coincidence, restic is one of the COPRs that is in Dominik's newest articles. I'd say, go for it! If you can get us an article in a few days, I'd love to take a shot at editing and maybe we can get it out next week.
