Do you have any recommendations on backup tools?

I figured borg is stable and does the job but others, including restic have problems like memory usage concerns and I'm just a single person shop and don't have any huge assets to backup and already seeing restic/duplicacy choke consuming GBs of memory.

What are the tools that are performant and stable?

I'd like to at least use another implementation besides borg in case a bug corrupts the data.

Encryption, retention policies, incremental backup without periodical full backup and acceptable performance (that people don't fill GitHub issues with performance problems) are requirements and deduplication is a plus.

Look at Duplicacy. It's memory usage is reasonable for me and dev is lowering it. Also faster than Restic and fully incremental.

I hope it gets to the point not to consume several GB soon enough. Also the pricing got too greedy and I'm not sure if I want to pay that.

It used to be per user but now it's per machine and it's even asking you to pay $50/year per machine even for cheap instances that are $60/year and when you have 20 small machines to look after, the pricing looks a bit too unfair.

Our current recommendation is 'borg' and all customer feedback reinforces that choice.

So, you're saying there aren't any others that are as good as borg?

You may also be interested in Duplicacy (not to be confused with Duplicity etc). Can also backup to SFTP, great dedupe features, RSA encryption, etc.

Huh. You have an "ARM" logo on your webpage, is that this ARM??

It's the older version of their current logo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_Ltd.

Computing arm, hmm. I had always seen that in lower case. Thanks!

Just sent you an email for a test account:) Thanks!
