Rsnapshot Alternatives

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

Time Machine

Time Machine is the breakthrough automatic backup that’s built right into Mac OS X. It keeps an up-to-date copy of everything on your Mac — digital photos, music, movies, TV shows, and documents. Now, if you ever have the need, you can easily go back in time to recover anything.

Features:

• Automatic Backup
• Backup
• Encrypted backups
• Encrypted backups
• File Versioning
• Incremental backup
• Bundled with macOS
• 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

Back In Time

Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux, inspired by "FlyBack project". You only need to specify 3 things: - where to save snapshots - what folders to backup - backup frequency (manual, every hour, every day, every month) Back In Time is based on rsync and uses hard-links to reduce space used for unchanged files. It comes with a Qt5 GUI which will run on both Gnome and KDE based Desktops.

Features:

• Incremental backup
• Backup

Comodo Time Machine

Comodo Time Machine (CTM) allows non-commercial users to quickly restore their entire system to an earlier point in time (including the registry, critical operating system files and user created documents). This free tool is especially useful to roll back your system to the last known working state in the event of virus attacks or crashes.

Areca Backup

Areca Backup is a file backup software which can be run on Windows or Linux. It creates backup copies (which can be encrypted and compressed) of your files and stores them on external drives, USB keys, FTP servers, supporting incremental, differential and full backups. It also allows you to browse your backups and navigate among different version of the files contained in your archives.

Features:

• Backup
• Command line
• Delta Backup
• Differential backup
• Encrypted backups
• Support for FTP
• Incremental backup
• Multiple languages

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

rdiff-backup

rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.

Features:

• Backup
• File-system view

Duplicacy

Duplicacy is a new generation cloud-backup tool supporting 5 major cloud-storage providers (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, and Backblaze), as well as local disks and SFTP servers (such as Mac/Linux computers or NAS boxes).

Features:

• Backup
• Cloud based
• Incremental backup

Cronopete

A Linux clone of Time Machine, the backup utility for Mac from Apple. It aims to mimic it as closely as possible.

Features:

• Backup
• Incremental backup
