BorgBackup

Deduplicating archiver with compression and encryption

Visit BorgBackup

Borg is a backup program that stores files as content-defined chunks, storing identical chunks only once across files, machines and years of history.

It runs on Linux, macOS, BSD and more, installed from distribution packages, single-file binaries or pip.
