From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Never heard of it.... OMG that must be the worst name for a backup solution! :D
It reeks of abandoned software (last release is 0.50 from 2018), but there is recent activity in git, so... IDK
I wouldn't consider it a backup solution, I use Timeshift for that.
It's more of a file syncing software like Syncthing.
I have it set up to one way sync certain folders on my computer to an external USB HDD that I can disconnect and take with me if I have to evacuate.
"Unlucky Backup" is probably worse.
"Unreliable Backup" is probably the worse.
Wait, I have a better name. Duplicati!
