Re:Kopia – incremental backups, encryption, compression, dat... by ZoomZoomZoom on Saturday March 11, 2023 @08:50AM (#35108256)
There is and there isn't, in a sense that there's nothing better than general-purpose backup software. Media is almost always encoded in high-entropy formats thus negating any possible gains from incremental backups. So with common backup tools you only get data consistency checks and encryption, but almost no compression or intra-file deduplication, and to get that you need to reencode your media for storage, which is unfeasible, at least for now.
