Help me choose between borg, restic and rclone

1. Duplicacy

   1 138 5,329 5.2 Go

   A new generation cloud backup tool

   

   But if you want to skip the rclone and go straight to backing up to a cloud provider take a look at Duplicacy.

2. SaaSHub

3. resticprofile

   2 11 818 8.3 Go

   Configuration profiles manager and scheduler for restic backup

   

   While we're talking restic tools, have you also tried restic-profile?

4. czkawka

   3 364 21,416 6.9 Rust

   Multi functional app to find duplicates, empty folders, similar images etc.

   

   If you want to find and organize duplicates on disk, then there are other tools for that. I'm not particularly familiar with them, but you might try starting with czkawka which looks pretty featureful. The github page also compares it with a couple other similar tools. Otherwise you could try searching for "find duplicates" in /r/datahoarders or /r/selfhosted for ideas.

5. rclone

   4 974 48,409 9.8 Go

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

   

   While your recommendation totally makes sense for this use case, I just wanted to add that s3fs is probably not the way to go with Borg if you're trying to use it with generic cloud object storage—for all the reasons you mention. Instead, my understanding is that Borg users often use rclone or similar to sync a local Borg repository to cloud storage. Much more reliable, but the downside is it requires extra local storage.
