Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software

1. kopia

   1 235 9,497 9.6 Go

   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 great, though it's worth noting for folks on Linux: non-UTF-8 paths aren't stored correctly [1] and xattrs aren't stored [2]. While most folks probably won't care about the former, the latter can could cause issues (eg. losing SELinux labels makes it difficult to restore a backup of the root filesystem on distros that use SELinux).

3. BorgBackup

   2 335 11,815 9.6 Python

   Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

   

   Borg 2 has been in development for nearly a year and a half [1] and may probably be released early next year, i.e., early 2024 (just a guess, seeing that even RC1 is not yet released and seems to have a lot of work to be done).

   Does anyone know how Borg 1.x and 2 would compare to Kopia?

4. bupstash

   3 11 903 1.3 Rust

   Easy and efficient encrypted backups.

   

   Bupstash (https://bupstash.io/) beats Borg and Kopia in my tests (see https://masysma.net/37/backup_tests_borg_bupstash_kopia.xhtm...). It is a modern take very close to what Borg offers regarding the feature set but has a significantly better performance (in terms of resource use for running tasks, the backups were slightly larger than Borg's in my tests).

5. npbackup

   4 3 203 9.9 Python

   A secure and efficient file backup solution that fits both system administrators (CLI) and end users (GUI)

   

   I'd be interested in comparison with:

   https://relicabackup.com/features

   https://github.com/netinvent/npbackup

   Which is my current short-list for cross platform backup...

6. restic

   5 365 28,512 9.8 Go

   Fast, secure, efficient backup program

   

   Can someone please help decide what is the "best" backup software?

7. Duplicacy

   6 138 5,415 4.9 Go

   A new generation cloud backup tool

   

8. gitkurwa

   7 7 1,736 1.7 Shell

   A sample project containing usefull verbose aliases, for those who feel lost and angry at git. Basically for those Polish folks, who scream "Git, kurwa!".

   

   > as far as OSS names of Polish go, kopia is pretty tame

   Well indeed.

   There's a project on GitHub with 1.7k stars called GitKurwa[1].

   Now that's proper untame Polish. ;-)

10. zfsnapr

    8 7 28 5.6 Ruby

    Recursive ZFS snapshot mounter

    

11. borgtui

    9 4 37 6.8 Rust

    A nice TUI for BorgBackup

    

    Personally I use borg with BorgTUI (https://github.com/dpbriggs/borgtui) to schedule backups and manage sources/repositories. I'm quite pleased with the simplicity of it compared to some of the other solutions.

12. borgmatic

    10 62 1,959 9.8 Python

    Simple, configuration-driven backup software for servers and workstations

    

    Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).

    I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).

    So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo

13. z3

    11 7 392 5.5 Python

    Backup your ZFS snapshots to S3. (by presslabs)

    

14. rclone-sync-zfs

    12 2 14 0.0 Shell

    atomic rclone of zfs dataset

    

15. RcloneZFSBackup

    13 2 3 0.0 Shell

    Backup ZFS snapshots to cloud storage using RCLone
