What should i use to backup my files?

• BorgBackup

  333 10,526 9.4 Python

  Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  

If you’re on a UNIX operating system, there are loads of different options. Borg is free, good and trusted, and Vorta is a free front end for it. Restic is also good.

• arq_restore

  124 647 0.0 C

  command-line utility for restoring from Arq backups

If you’re on Windows/Mac, something like ArqBackup is solid. It’s not free, but $60/year gets you 1TB of cloud storage for backing up, as well as 5 licenses for the software. Alternatively the software is $49.95 for a single computer license for version 7.

• InfluxDB

• rclone

  963 43,720 9.8 Go

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

  

At home i have a machine that is always on that synchronizes cloud data locally in real time (can be as simple as a Raspberry Pi and rclone).

• kopia

  224 6,270 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.

  

Another “up and coming” is Kopia which is free and would be my recommended backup software if a stable version had been released. As it is now it still has bugs (i ran into one last week), and the last thing you want to struggle with with attempting to recover from deleted files, is a corrupted backup repository.

• Duplicacy

  136 5,009 5.6 Go

  A new generation cloud backup tool

Also on Windows/Mac/Linux you can get Duplicacy, which is free for personal use as long as you use the CLI version (UI is free for restores and checks).

• Cryptomator

  491 10,643 9.7 Java

  Multi-platform transparent client-side encryption of your files in the cloud

  

I keep all of my (important) data in the cloud, encrypted by Cryptomator if there is need for privacy.
