# Backup tools List of Backup Software ======================= Tags used below: - `authenticated`: Uses cryptographic signatures or MAC tags to ensure integrity - `compression`: Storage with compression - `dedup`: Supports deduplication - `encrypted`: Supports encrypting data locally (stored encrypted on the backup medium) - `error-correction`: Supports reconstructing data in scenarios x-of-n backup media are lost - `filesystem`: Backups are stored on a regular filesystem in plaintext, maintaining the original directory structure. Specifically, no blob abstractions are used for storage, and no specialized fuse-layer is required to read the backups. - `gcs`: Supports Google Cloud Storage - `golang`: Written in Go - `gpg`: Uses GPG for the underlying encryption - `incremental`: Support for incremental backups (through deltas or local deduplication) - `perl`: Written in Perl - `python`: Written in Python - `review`: Needs to be reviewed by the authors of this list in order to revise the tags assigned here. - `rsync`: Uses `rsync` or `librsync` - `rust`: Written in Rust - `s3`: Supports Amazon S3-compatible backends - `ssh`: Supports SFTP/SCP backends - `unmaintained`: Looks unmaintained / dead - `webdav`: Supports WebDAV backends The following list is sorted alphabetically: * [amanda](http://www.amanda.org/)
