I'm doing my crash plan backups with Clonezilla since years, are there better cross-platform alternatives nowadays? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

Basically the title. I have several computers that get saved every now and then using Clonezilla in case of a critical hard drive crash. Data backups are made in a different way.

While I like Clonezilla, I've been wondering if there was some better cross-platform alternatives? What solution do you use for this scenario?

Depends on the cost, I tried to figure out their pricing but their pricing page is crap.

Backblaze does unlimited computer backups, minus Linux and shared network drievs for 99/yr

Thanks for your input! I don't know where you looked but the Clonezilla is a USB boot-based backup solution which is done by yourself using hard drives.

I'm not interested in paying to host my backup files, I prefer to use the drives that I have at home to backup my computers instead of paying for online storage.

What happens if your house burns down?

Obviously has an offsite backup at grandma's house. Or simply lives in a house that can't burn down.

Then I'm screwed. You made a very good point although my main question was about backup solutions / software vs. good practices.
