Hi,

I am new here. I wish to backup files and folders from other computers on my home network to a local computer on the same network, should I use Fstp?

Thank you for any help and suggestions.

If you want to backup other computers’ files, the easiest way would be to install kopia on them locally (kopiaGUI preferrably). Otherwise you would have to share the respective folders from the computers you’d like to back up to the machine where kopia is installed and run the backup from that single machine.
In order to backup files, kopia needs to see them in the local filesystem. With remote machines, you can use e.g. SSHFS to mount the files locally.
