New Tags

[thw26]

Thanks for your list! I was looking for just the thing. I'm trying to determine what to invest in personally before exporting to an organization I administrate and the quick overview here is fantastic.

While reviewing, I thought some new tags that could be added to this list are the following.

• concurrent/simultaneous backups, or multiple sources to one backup repo
• supports an ignore file/source

It seems to me that all of the projects support "multiple sources to one backup repo"; if nothing else, then by having a source-specific folder in the repo. I suspect that the property you're looking for would be related to the dedup tag, but you are looking for tools that specifically has deduplication support for data from multiple sources?

Concurrent/simultaneous backups: You mean overlapping jobs? In databases terminology I guess this would be some kind of "snapshot isolation" property, and I agree that it seems like a useful property for a backup tool, but I wonder which tool on the list do not support that use case?

Ignore/exclude: I agree that this is also a nice property, but I think most of the tools support that?

When considering new tags, I think it helps to have a list of the projects that would qualify for the tags; maintaining this list is a balancing act between being precise and being overly verbose, and the goal is to help you to filter out the interesting ones to look at, so ideally each tag would match several tools, and ideally not the entire list.
