• Duplicity

  Not to be confused with Duplicati [1] or Duplicacy [2]. There are too many backup programs whose names start with 'Duplic'. [1] https://www.duplicati.com/ [2] https://duplicacy.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

At least once they've run a promotion for a very cheap lifetime license. Use it just from the CLI is free. My setup is pretty simple, Syncthing and Duplicacy (GUI version) run in a docker container on my home server. Everything... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
