[Software] Easy Backup Software - that does incremental

[producerguyaz]

I've been spoiled by Carbon Copy Cloner for OSX. So far I've not yet come across **anything that is as simple or intuitive.
All I want is something that will make an incremental "clone" of a secondary drives contents. The last app I tried, Deja Dup make so many sub-folders and files it was a total mess.

Is there anything that can be used to clone a drives' contents as simply as CCC without creating an entire library of useless data? If not all I'm doing for now is making manual backups - drag-n-drop from one drive to the next. Horribly inefficient.

Most that are incremental; will have something like this, because how do you separate the 'versions'? Or where? I will wager that the Mac OS tool probably has all the directories, etc, just not as visible, or you use the application to browse the files, perhaps?. What sort of "useless" files and dirs are we talking about here?

Now if you want actual regularly scheduled clones (aka 'syncing") without any past history, then there are a few options.

I use KDE's Kup Backup,it does both types. Synced file you browse with your file manager. For the versioned backups, you point Kup to the location where all those files are, and it opens its own file browser since it has to pack and unpack files based on dates, etc.

There are quote a few options to try, deja dup is only one.
