About restic
Restic is a modern backup program that can back up your files from Linux, BSD, Mac, and Windows to many different storage types, including self-hosted and online services. Easily, being a single executable that you can run without a server or complex setup. Effectively, only transferring the parts that actually changed in the files you back up, Securely, by careful use of cryptography in every part of the process. Verifiably, enabling you to make sure that your files can be restored when needed. Freely, restic is entirely free to use and completely open-source. Backward compatibility for backups is important so that our users are always able to restore saved data. Therefore restic follows semantic versioning to clearly define which versions are compatible. The repository and data structures contained therein are considered the “Public API” in the sense of semantic versioning.

Kopia
With a secure, scalable architecture, Kopia can back up everything from small laptops to large servers today. Kopia is a fast and secure open-source backup/restore tool that manages filesystem snapshots in a remote storage. Kopia uploads directories and files to remote storage called Repository and maintains a set of historical point-in-time snapshot records based on defined policies. Each snapshot is always incremental, no data included in previous snapshots is ever re-uploaded to the repository based on file content. After moving or renaming even large files, Kopia can recognize that they have the same content and won’t need to upload them again. Multiple users or computers can share same repository: if users share the same files, they are also uploaded only once. To restore data, Kopia can mount the contents of a Repository as a local disk, and you can use normal file copy tools to perform full or selective restore.
