    CloudBerry Backup for Linux does not have a version to run on ARM processors
    That's OK - Worth an ask!
    I've got another x86 machine that I could use to run Linux another time.
    Thanks,

    1) It would be better to make sure that the folder path on source mirrors the original one
    Thanks - yes that makes sense - I was thinking that Glacier might be a bit picky in this respect. I'm also wondering whether I might make use of my OneDrive disk space (maybe a better alternative) as I have this included in my MS Office sub.
    2) Yes, that is possible. You can read about that here
    That's perfect - its just knowing where to look ;-) I've bookmarked for future use.

    3) I'm afraid that won't be possible, at least not yet. Linux backups to Glacier...
    That's fine - the linux version is something for the future. Does CBB (Linux) run OK on a raspberry Pi?
    If I could get this running I'd probably be backing up files from my NAS rather than using my PC.

    Many thanks Matt.
    I'm using CBB mainly as my off-site backups (previously CrashPlan user - but that's going away) in case of losing everything locally. I also have backups to a second internal HDD & to a synology NAS using SyncbackPro (which is basically file copying).
    Many thanks for your speedy help with the questions , and hopefully your answers are useful to others as well.

    Thanks Matt, I'll give it a go here then :

    question 1:

    I'm migrating to a new PC - I'm planning to perform a complete clean upgrade from Windows 8 to 10.

    My Data is in Amazon Glacier - but on the new setup my local directory structures might change - would I have to reload all my Data to Glacier? (It took ages to do the upload to glacier for last time).

    question 2:

    I'm an ex-Crashplan user. I'm also toying with the idea of having another backup on another [remotely connected] PC. Can I perform a local CBB backup & then take that disk to the other PC to seed the backup (internet is very slow for me)

    question 3.
    In a moment of weakness :-), on world backup day I took advantage of the discounts to buy a linux licence for CBB. I've had a vague idea of using a Raspberry Pi 3 run my backups (taking the files from my NAS). Is there a way to be able to integrate these with my Glacier target & other targets without having to do the full uploads yet again?

    Hope the above make sense.

    Looking at the above questions, I guess they are all about de-duplication on a file level... :-)

    Thanks,
