I believe Duplicati is the current tool du jour

Aha!

This looks interesting.

Just to confirm, you mean this Duplicati? (https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati)

Also, it says it's a client for backups which support cloud and local servers.

On their page it says it supports:

"Amazon S3, OneDrive, Google Drive, Rackspace Cloud Files, HubiC, Backblaze (B2), Amazon Cloud Drive (AmzCD), Swift / OpenStack, WebDAV, SSH (SFTP), FTP, and more!"

Only local options I see are SFTP/FTP. Do you know of other supported ones? I can't seem to find reference to other local solutions, so if you have more info that would be great!

I mean, setting up an FTP server is pretty simple and with such a client most of the hassle of actually backing up would be solved apparently, but are there any other options for local servers that you know of (just for comparison sake)?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
