Rclone
Rclone is a command-line program to manage files on cloud storage. It is a feature-rich alternative to cloud vendors' web storage interfaces. Over 40 cloud storage products support rclone including S3 object stores, business & consumer file storage services, as well as standard transfer protocols. Rclone has powerful cloud equivalents to the Unix commands rsync, cp, mv, mount, ls, ncdu, tree, rm, and cat. Rclone's familiar syntax includes shell pipeline support, and --dry-run protection. It is used at the command line, in scripts, or via its API. Rclone really looks after your data. It preserves timestamps and verifies checksums at all times. Transfers over limited bandwidth; intermittent connections, or subject to quota can be restarted, from the last good file transferred. You can check the integrity of your files. Where possible, rclone employs server-side transfers to minimize local bandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another without using the local disk.

Plakar
Plakar is the open backup platform enabling resilience-as-code for security and infrastructure teams. A declarative last line of defense built around Kloset, an immutable encrypted deduplication engine that collapses the encryption-vs-efficiency tradeoff and makes complete coverage affordable, paired with a Kubernetes-native control plane that lets teams define, orchestrate, and verify resilience policies as code across VMs, databases, K8s workloads, object storage, and AI pipelines. When ransomware hits, an AI agent breaks production, or you need to walk away from a cloud provider, your data stays portable and recoverable. Plakar runs a zero-trust resilience layer on infrastructure you own — declaratively governed, agent-ready, and priced so complete coverage is actually achievable. Your keys. Your data. Your recovery path.
