Duplicati

Duplicati is a backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on local storage, cloud storage services and remote file servers. The Duplicati project was inspired by Duplicity and had similar functionality until 2008. In that year the storage model was redesigned completely and the program was rebuilt from scratch. This manual describes Duplicati 2, the version based on the new storage model.

Features:

• Encrypted backups
• Schedule Backup
• Cloud Storage
• Encryption
• Incremental backup
• Automatic Backup
• Cross-platform
• Data deduplication
• Email notifications
• Local Storage
• Support for Amazon Glacier
• Web-Based
• WebUI Management
• Backup
• Backup to Google Drive
• Cloud sync
• File Compression
• File Versioning
• Guided configuration
• Multiple languages
• Retention Schedule
• Support for SFTP
• Support for WebDAV

rsync

rsync is a software application for Unix which synchronizes files and directories from one location to another while minimizing data transfer using delta encoding when appropriate. An important feature of rsync not found in most similar programs/protocols is that the mirroring takes place with only one transmission in each direction. rsync can copy or display directory contents and copy files, optionally using compression and recursion.

Features:

• File by file encryption
• File-sync
• Backup
• Cloud sync
• Command line
• Command line interface
• Delta Backup
• Encrypted backups
• File-sync
• File transfer
• Folder sync
• Schedule Backup

Déjà Dup

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of doing backups the 'right way' (encrypted, off-site, and regularly) and uses Duplicity as the backend. It features support for local or remote backup locations, including Amazon S3. It securely encrypts and compresses your data. It incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup. It schedules regular backups, and integrates well into your GNOME desktop.

Features:

• Backup
• Encrypted backups
• Encrypted backups
• Incremental backup
• Remote backup
• Schedule Backup
• Well integrated in Debian 9

Borg Backup

BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a deduplicating backup program. Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption. The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup data. The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups since only changes are stored. The authenticated encryption technique makes it suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets.

Features:

• Data deduplication
• Encrypted backups
• Encryption
• Incremental backup
• Remote backup
• Automatic Backup

TimeShift

TimeShift for Linux is an application that provides functionality similar to the System Restore feature in Windows and the Time Machine tool in Mac OS. TimeShift protects your system by taking incremental snapshots of the file system at regular intervals. These snapshots can be restored at a later date to undo all changes to the system. Snapshots are taken using rsync and hard-links. Common files are shared between snapshots which saves disk space.

Duplicity

Duplicity is a software suite that provides encrypted, digitally signed, versioned, remote backup of files requiring little of the remote server. Duplicity devises a scheme where the first archive is a complete backup and subsequent backups are only adding differences from the first backup. Chains consisting of a full backup and a series of incremental backups can be recovered to the point in time that any of the incremental steps were taken at.

Features:

• Backup
• Command line
• Encrypted backups
• Incremental backup
• Support for WebDAV
