# 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
