Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kopia

    Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.

  • Kopia is quite promising: https://kopia.io/

  • borgwarehouse

    A fast and modern WebUI for a BorgBackup's central repository server.

  • The website part is still really new, but I quite like borgbackup with the borgwarehouseUI.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  • restic

  • vorta

    Desktop Backup Client for Borg Backup

  • For the client side, you can use either Vortafor graphical clients, or borgmatic for headless servers. (Or just borg, but borgmatic is better imo)

  • borgmatic

    Simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and workstations

  • For the client side, you can use either Vortafor graphical clients, or borgmatic for headless servers. (Or just borg, but borgmatic is better imo)

  • Duplicacy

    A new generation cloud backup tool

  • I use Duplicacy and it works well. I like it because it's written in Go and so it's cross platform. I previously used Duplicati for a while (god why do they all have to have these names that are so similar) but ended up giving up on it after a while. My client base that I'm backing up are Windows and Linux devices and Duplicati is written in .NET and so you need this whole Mono stack to run it on Linux. Just a pain.

  • benchmarks

    Benchmarks of different backup tools. (by borgbase)

  • Did a benchmark between Restic, Borg v1 and the upcoming Borg v2: https://github.com/borgbase/benchmarks

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • rclone

    "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Yandex Files

  • rclone may be better suited to backup use cases.
