| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | Runs on Windows 7+, macOS 10.12+, and major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian). | | Encryption | AES-256 encryption for backup archives (optional but recommended). | | Compression | Uses gzip or zstd compression to reduce backup size. | | Backup destinations | Local folders, external USB drives, network shares (SMB/CIFS, NFS), SFTP/SSH servers. | | Scheduling | Built-in scheduler (daily, weekly, monthly, custom intervals). | | Full & incremental backups | First backup = full; subsequent = incremental (only changed files). | | File filters | Include/exclude specific files, folders, or file types (e.g., *.tmp , node_modules/ ). | | Restore wizard | Browse backups by date and restore selected files/folders to original or new location. | | Notifications | Email reports and system tray alerts on success/failure. | | No cloud required | Entirely offline-capable; no mandatory account or subscription. |
True cross-platform (including Windows) open-source with native GUI – rare among backup tools.
Users can schedule backups at specific intervals—daily, weekly, monthly—or use real-time backup which instantly saves changes as they happen.
