We just released the source code less than 2 months ago. The difference in contributor counts may not be this big in one or two years from now.

Thanks for your feedback. The reason I don't like open-source licenses is that I don't want for-profit companies to use my software without paying. The ideal license would be the o…

Free or not free aside, my question is, does it matter to personal users between this free-for-personal-use license and any of those more permissive licenses like MIT, BSD, or GPL?…

I noticed that, but didn't know if Borg has another meaning. I can understand why they forked the project, but in my opinion a name that makes the origin more obvious would have be…

Author here. The experiments actually ran BorgBackup 1.1.0b6 as you can see from the Setup section. We liked to call it Attic out of the respect to the original Attic author.

Author of Duplicacy here. To personal users, it is free software.

Author of Duplicacy here. I would like to see other's results too.

I'm the developer of Duplicacy ( https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy ), a new generation cloud backup tool based on the idea of Lock-Free Deduplication( https://github.com/gil…

We use a pack-and-split approach -- files are packed first (as if it is building a big tar file first, although this is only conceptual) and then split into chunks using a variable…

Naming chunks by their hashes is not a new idea, but this technique along does not give you a practical backup tool. The deletion of unreferenced chunks becomes a hard problem, and…

I might be wrong but I want to hear more from you if you're a Borg developer. My understanding is that you may be able to have multiple clients uploading chunks at the same time, b…

I think Amazon only blocked rclone's application key for Amazon Drive. There is no way for Amazon to prevent a third-party application from accessing S3, since users provide their …

I didn't want to sound like duplicity intentionally, but duplicacy.com was still available at that time and I thought it was a perfect name for a backup tool...

Duplicacy doesn't use the filesystem events APIs. Instead, it checks the timestamps and sizes to identify modified files and only back up these files by defaults. The main use case…

Yes and Yes. Duplicacy follows the git/hg command model. To initialize the repository (the backup to be backed up), run the init command: duplicacy init repository_id storage_url -…

Developer here. Duplicacy is built on the concept of Lock-Free Deduplication ( https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/blob/master/DESIGN.... ), which allows it to backup multiple…
