Duplicati: Free backup software to store encrypted backups online

1. Duplicacy

   1 138 5,312 5.2 Go

   A new generation cloud backup tool

   

   Duplicacy has been incredibly stable for me over the years and I still prefer it's lock-free deduplication design. Looks like 28 days ago there was a major release as well. Time to upgrade. :)

3. kopia

   2 233 8,499 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.

   

   I've had a good experience with Kopia [0] for over a year. Linux and Windows boxes all writing to the same repository, which is synchronized to both B2 and a portable drive every night. The one thing it lacks that I'd like is error correction, so I store it on a RAID1 btrfs system. ECC is apparently being developed [1], but is currently experimental and I believe requires a new repository.

4. restic

   3 362 27,268 9.8 Go

   Fast, secure, efficient backup program

   

   Even late this warning has to be issued: restic still has serious problems with writing to samba shares - to the honor of the auhors we can see that the manual clearly tells you about that:

   On Linux, storing the backup repository on a CIFS (SMB) share is not recommended due to compatibility issues.

   There seems to be some deeper system level problem with go concurrency:

5. arq_restore

   4 126 651 0.0 C

   command-line utility for restoring from Arq backups

   

6. rclone

   5 972 48,281 9.8 Go

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

   

   Does anyone have experience with comparing restic and Rclone? I feel like they are similar.

7. crestic

   6 5 108 5.9 Python

   Configurable Restic Wrapper

   

   I've had a good experience with [crestic](https://github.com/nils-werner/crestic), even though it seems a lot smaller and simpler than autorestic.

8. resticprofile

   7 11 810 8.3 Go

   Configuration profiles manager and scheduler for restic backup

   

   There’s also resticprofile which takes care of scheduling (with launchd on macOS) and maintenance tasks for restic. I especially enjoy that resticprofile can create a prom file for the backup status that I can just scoop up to my monitoring.

9. BorgBackup

   8 334 11,414 9.7 Python

   Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

   

   I highly recommend Borg Backup. I had to give up on Duplicati years ago, perhaps they're OK now. But Borg is magic.
