Back-up

Hi to everyone. I have to install an SSD on a netbook ASUS Eee PC, what back-up program can I use in order to maintain Trisquel mini 8 Flidas? Thank you for the attention.
As for software I use Back In Time to backup data as well as a manual copy/paste for small stuff. I use Timeshift for system settings. I also take clone images using Redo Backup.
Thank you. All OK
Hi -- hope that no one minds if I ask my question about back ups here
I have Trisquel 9 now. I used Deja-dup when I had Trisquel 8 Mini. Does Back In Time have incremental backup? I want to backup regularly (and hopefully automatically) and I would rather not make a full snapshot backup every time.
I wish to back up my external harddrive (and maybe to a second one, once in a while, just to be safe). These external harddrives are formatted as FAT ... which Back In Time does not seem to like (Back In Time said that FAT doesn't support hard links ... I don't know what that means other than that FAT won't work).
With Back In Time, files that are unchanged between two consecutive backups are hard links: different paths leading to a same file, stored only once. The filesystem type of the backup location must therefore support hard links. FAT does not. NTFS does and so do all filesystems you encounter on GNU/Linux, BSD, etc.
Thank you MB! I'm going to move all my material onto backup drive 2, so that I can reformat backup drive 1 as NTFS or ext4 (?). I and then I'll do the same for backup drive 2. Is there a file system that you would recommend for a backup drive?
With NTFS, you can plug the drive on a Windows system and access the files you backed up. If you do not plan to do that, ext4 is usually considered the most reliable filesystem type, what matters most for backup. That said, in my experience, XFS is very reliable too (Trisquel has been using it by default for /home for many years). It is supposeed to be more efficient for large files such as those typically backed up (several MB is already "large").
