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

    Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  • Well, you could, theoretically, mount windows share on linux and then use borgbackup. This has added benefit that windows PC does not need credentials to access linux, so if windows PC is compromised it will not be able to kill backups.

  • Rsnapshot

    a tool for backing up your data using rsync (if you want to get help, use https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rsnapshot-discuss)

  • I'm using rsnapshot, which keeps older backups in a hardlink tree in a fashion comparable to Time Machine (although retrieval is not quite as comfortable). It uses rsync internally, which should also be possible for backing up a Windows client, although I have no personal experience.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
