Is running Mono a bad idea?
by nomadic101 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FMT6)
Hi
I'm setting a home server, using debian. (With a low powered ex-NAS, 2gb ram, quad-core 2ghz).
I've been looking at backup solutions to cloud (backblaze), such as restic, borg and duplicati.
Duplicati is the easiest to use via a web-based gui. (The others need scripting of some sorts, to automate backups which I don't have much experience of. And I want to avoid dumbly copying scripts, esp if the software changes and breaks the scripts etc).
Though Duplicati needs mono. I've seen a few comments that suggest this is resource hungry and adds another layer of complexity and should be avoided.
Any thoughts on this?
