BorgBackup, Deduplicating archiver with compression and encryption
I tried a few backup tools and https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash is my favorite by far but it's not that well known.
It was pretty fast already and recently got multithread support. It has been the only thing usable for backing up a few TB in a raspberry for performance reasons.
Keep in mind it's relatively new and the author does not yet recommend to use in production as the only backup solution.

Encrypted Backup Shootout
bupstash (rust) - https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash
The authors bupstash[1] tool looks interesting.
I see there's an issue made for Windows support, how is that with Rust?
Unless it's doing low-level stuff like directory monitoring I assumed Rust would be quite portable?

What's everyone working on this week (53/2020)?
Benchmarking my backup tool that was written in rust: https://github.com/andrewchambers/bupstash . Rust did not disappoint when it comes to performance, it seems to beat restic by a factor of 2x-200x depending on the benchmark.

Backup software
Also see Restic's list of Linux backup software. https://github.com/restic/others
- Restic 0.14.0 released with compression support
-
Restic 0.13.0
There is also https://github.com/restic/others which has some keywords (e.g. is it encrypted, does it do compression) for most FOSS backup solutions. It can be outdated or incomplete for some entries, though.

What free and open source backup software do you recommend that works on Windows?
https://github.com/restic/others is a nice collection of free software links too - you can click through those and see if any are Windows supporting. But I'd personally just go with restic.

Backblaze for Personal Backup
Backblaze is an awful piece of software when you look at it from “a backup software” point of view. It’s made pretty, simple, native (or is it Electron now?) - yes. But then it stops there. On top of that if you read there ifs, buts, and gotchas you’d want to stay far away from them.
They’ve downright absurd data deletion/retention and versioning rules.
Besides I do not trust any service that promises to give anything “unlimited” for a fixed cost.
As I usually mention in comments on this topic - I’d strongly urge people to use and support backup tools like borgbackup.org (Vorta is an excellent Borg GUI), restic.net (a GUI is glaringly missing), kopia.io (up and coming; promising; comes with a GUI), for smaller datasets there’s very good but more expansive Tarsnap (not FOSS).
