Backup/sync for Windows 10 / Ubuntu folder
Not so long ago I had a bit of a scare. I have a shared Windows 10 computer with all our photos/videos etc. I found out that someone had accidentally deleted a folder, and as it had happened more than 2 months before, the change had propagated to my online backup.
Luckily I had an old backup, but to avoid a future data-loss, I was thinking of a solution along these lines:
Setting up an old computer with an Ubuntu server and creating a one-way sync folder on the server.
Let the Ubuntu server be responsible for syncing the folder with the Windows 10 folder.
Let the server do some kind of backup, that keeps all changes to the folder on the server.
Any suggestions as to what software is best for these tasks. Does a program exist that is able to both?
The server will always be on, the Win10 computer will only be on when needed.
