This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Backup

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • rclone

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

  • I feel like RClone, with some flags, will do what you need.

  • BorgBackup

    Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  • For backups you have loads of great options. Borg is great and trusted, but a bit aged. It only supports backing up via SSH or to a local drive. I does however work very well.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • restic

    Fast, secure, efficient backup program

  • Lots of new “generation” backup programs have sprung up since, like for instance restic, which supports many more backends, with perhaps S3 compatible being the most important.

  • 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.

  • The newest “batch” of backup programs include Duplicacy which is stable and trusted and semi paid (cli version is free), and Kopia which is free, but has yet to release a stable version.

  • Healthchecks

    Open-source cron job and background task monitoring service, written in Python & Django

  • Finally, while setting up a “fire and forget” solution, it is worthless if it doesn’t run. For keeping an eye on things, i would recommend something like Healthchecks.IO . Their free tier gives you the option to monitor 20 different tasks, and will alert you on error or if the back fails to run.

  • Duplicacy

    A new generation cloud backup tool

  • The newest “batch” of backup programs include Duplicacy which is stable and trusted and semi paid (cli version is free), and Kopia which is free, but has yet to release a stable version.
