I use Kopia to backup the kids Windows laptops to the home file server over SFTP. The advantages over other options I've found so far:

* Can run in a "I haven't done a backup for a while, so I'll do one now" mode when the laptop is awake.

* Both laptops can be writing to the same repository at the same time, sharing common files, dedup, etc.

Missing:

* Only supports VSS via a couple of scripts I couldn't get working. (Restic is nice with that.)

Is https://kopia.io/docs/advanced/actions/#windows-shadow-copy not working for you?


No. Didn't seem to be amenable to setting it via the GUI, and all in all just a lot of frigging around. Haven't personally had to use Windows for a decade or so, so argh.
