    There is also https://github.com/restic/others which has some keywords (e.g. is it encrypted, does it do compression) for most FOSS backup solutions. It can be outdated or incomplete for some entries, though.
  • What free and open source backup software do you recommend that works on Windows?
    1 project | /r/freesoftware | 26 Dec 2021
    https://github.com/restic/others is a nice collection of free software links too - you can click through those and see if any are Windows supporting. But I'd personally just go with restic.
  • Backblaze for Personal Backup
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Dec 2021
    Backblaze is an awful piece of software when you look at it from “a backup software” point of view. It’s made pretty, simple, native (or is it Electron now?) - yes. But then it stops there. On top of that if you read there ifs, buts, and gotchas you’d want to stay far away from them.

    They’ve downright absurd data deletion/retention and versioning rules.

    Besides I do not trust any service that promises to give anything “unlimited” for a fixed cost.

    As I usually mention in comments on this topic - I’d strongly urge people to use and support backup tools like borgbackup.org (Vorta is an excellent Borg GUI), restic.net (a GUI is glaringly missing), kopia.io (up and coming; promising; comes with a GUI), for smaller datasets there’s very good but more expansive Tarsnap (not FOSS).

    And then there are others - https://github.com/restic/others#list-of-backup-software
