This. Syncthing is awesome, but sync and backup are two different use-cases. It's why rsync is not a backup system on its own, and why rsnapshot, attic, borg, etc came about.
@SplitIce, I use ansible too, to deploy the backup software, but what do you use to do the actual backups? Did you write your own rsync scripts?
Data is trasnferred using sshfs (some of our backups are over 100GB in size and we don't have the temporary space for doing it all locally, and we need to be able to do incremental backups).
For mysql we do innobackupex
For filesystem we use rsync to a sshfs directory
If you have a service so bad you need backups, why even bother backing up then?

I guess we know why youre cheap now.

Never tried it, but I'd probably bet it works as advertised.
So deleted files are recoverable. The name synching is a title misleading when it can do versioning and recovering deleted files.
Yes, it works as advertised but only for latest version since that script copy every folder to trashcan folder. If your folder had 10 GB your trashcan had 10 GB too which is not limited storage friendly.
So it's not fully capable to do backup jobs (backup, deduplication, versioning, etc)
