  • BorgBackup underneath, which is well tested and deduplicates aggressively
  • Local and remote destinations can run at the same time
  • A desktop app and a command line tool that share the same repository format
  • End-to-end encryption with keys you control, plus compression and deduplication
  • Designed for personal data; it does not support complete system recovery
  • Linux only, and clearly built for GNOME
  • Backs up the files and folders you choose; it is not a whole-disk imaging tool
  • Still pre-1.0, so repository format changes between versions are possible
