Duplicity

1. restic

   1 387 36,514 9.7 Go

   Fast, secure, efficient backup program

   

   After Borg, I switched to Restic:

   https://restic.net/

   AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

2. AppSignal

   www.appsignal.com sponsored

   AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

   

3. BorgBackup

   2 347 13,830 10.0 Python

   Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

   

   I used this many, many years ago but switched to Borg[0] about five years ago. Duplicity required full backups with incremental deltas, which meant my backups ended up using too much disk space. Borg lets you prune older backups at will, because of chunk tracking and deduplication there is no such thing as an incremental backup.

4. glacier_deep_archive_backup

   3 7 264 4.0 Python

   Extremely low cost, off-site backup/restore using AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive

   

   If you don't need incremental backups (thus saving space for the signatures) and want to store to S3 Deep Glacier, take a look at https://github.com/mrichtarsky/glacier_deep_archive_backup

5. Duplicacy

   4 138 5,669 4.9 Go

   A new generation cloud backup tool

   

   I have been having great luck with incremental backups with the very similar named Duplicacy https://duplicacy.com/

6. restic-automatic-backup-scheduler

   5 2 664 3.3 Shell

   Automatic restic backup using Backblaze B2 storage and either Linux systemd timers, macOS LaunchAgent, Windows ScheduledTask or simply cron.

   

   I really like restic, and am personally happy to use it via the command line. It's very fast and efficient! However, I do wish there was better tooling / wrappers around it. For example, Pika Backup is a popular UI for Borg of which no equivalent exists for Restic. I'd love to be able to set something simple up on my partner's Macbook.

   For my own purposes, I've been using a script I found on Github[0] for a while, but it only really supports Backblaze B2 AFAIK.[1]

   I've been meaning to try autorestic[2] and resticprofile[3] as they are potentially more flexible than the script I'm currently using, and prestic[4] looks intriguing for my partner's use, but seems to have very few users. And the fact that there are so many competing tools makes it difficult to land on one.
