Duplicati

What is Duplicati?

Duplicati stores encrypted, deduplicated, incremental backups on standard cloud storage or a local disk, and runs on a schedule without supervision. It works with any backend rclone also supports, so you keep control over where the encrypted data physically lives. Restores can pull a single file or the whole set back out of the archive.
