I’m looking for a way in Plasma to backup and sync my data from PC to a LAN Samba share on my NAS, using a GUI program.

The many sync apps (Grsync, Unison, Lucky, RealTime, Kup etc.) I’ve tried over many years, don’t let me set a remote/samba target. Most navigate locally only. I would mount the share, but nobody I’ve found knows of a GUI way to permanently mount it.

Everything else I need on Plasma has a GUI solution. Just a sync fails. I’d be grateful to hear of a GUI solution

      Search “duplicati corruption”. You’ll find lots of stories of people finding out their backup repos are all corrupt.

      Duplicati Thanks. I just tried it. It doesn’t list Samba under storage type. I tried it anyway and never managed to get it to work. It’s really designed for cloud services. It might be possible to make it work if I knew networking trickery. But I can’t do it.
