  3. restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

    Used to be restic[1], but I switched to kopia[2]. For Android I just sync /storage/emulated/0/ with syncthing. All devices are backed up to a home server. Home server backups go to Backblaze (but any S3-compatible storage would do).

  4. 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.
