Very different products and can't compare them. Veeam is enterprise-grade and used for a larger variety of mission-critical workloads. Kopia is meant for end-user backups (though folks use it for a bunch of other things too). Note that

Unfortunately, this is not true. You need to grab all the DB files (WAL, etc.) in a consistent manner. You can't grab them while writes are in progress. There are ways though. Look at what Kanister does with its recipes to get consiste

One thing I will mention is that other backup projects have switched from Restic to Kopia. Velero from VMware comes to mind.

However, you should be able to use Glacier Instant Access. It will get you a bunch of the way there.

I haven't looked at duplicati in a while and, it has evolved. While Duplicati's feature set looks similar now, I would need to benchmark it both for efficiency and final backup sizes. And, while not directly, I know a number of co

I've been using Kopia for my personal use and for products I have helped build at a couple of enterprise backup companies! It's also used by other open-source backup projects that focus on specific ecosystems (Velero and Kanister

Hey folks, let us know if you have any questions about Corso. Would love to hear more about what you like to see as the project evolves.

You know, this is a great question. I believe what ARM is pushing now is Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) as the successor to NEON. I haven't seen benchmarks in the wild yet but it does have promise.

Apart from the announcements highlighted above, if you want a little bit more color and my take on the community, marketing vs. reality, and some of the tech-related controversy I saw, feel free to check out my notes on the conference here

I believe the problem has now shifted to a slightly higher level and especially when working in a microservice/containerized world. For example, given the number of specialized services you mentioned, we see more applications with poly

Honestly, the answer will really vary depending on who you talk to. That said, if you have worked hard and built a network in the area, those things are actually true. Even around 2001/2002 as well as 2008/2009 there were always j

The gray areas were exactly my point. There are sometimes clear-cut cases but generally things can be very vague to us non-lawyer types. Look at this earlier HN thread for more info - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2208056 . It talks

Unfortunately, the blog post is somewhat flawed. In the CA law he references, it clearly states that the exception to you owning your code/ideas is if they "relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the e
