From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don't want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Borg backup. You should be able to install it on your Live session, then restore to the target mount point.

And use Vorta if you want a gui for Borg backup.

Pika Backup is the most user-friendly GUI for Borg. Vorta UI is powerful but complex. Pika only shows you the absolute basics: where to keep the backups, what to include, what to exclude, list of snapshots, and schedule options.
