  • Bup

    Very efficient backup system based on the git packfile format, providing fast incremental saves and global deduplication (among and within files, including virtual machine images). Please post problems or patches to the mailing list for discussion (see the end of the README below).

    • Recently testing bup https://bup.github.io

  • Duplicacy

    A new generation cloud backup tool

    • I like the oddly similarly named Duplicacy. Wide range of cloud and local targets supported. Good deduplication across multiple clients. Web GUI and command line available. Source code available. Technically not "free" software, though.

  • 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 is also my backup tool of choice in my homelab; using B2 as the backup destination. Restic recently added support for compression which is pretty nice!

  • autorestic

    Config driven, easy backup cli for restic.

    • Iā€™m also using Autorestic to configure Restic via a YAML file, and I recently wrote an Ansible role to do this across multiple devices šŸ™‚ if interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/dbrennand/ansible-role-autorestic

  • ansible-role-autorestic

    Ansible role to configure backups using autorestic.

  • borgmatic

    Simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and workstations

    • With borgmatic you dont need scripts at all, but I do for databases https://torsion.org/borgmatic/
