Why Use Duplicati?
Keep your data safe, store it remotely, and back it up regularly! Many backup solutions fail to meet these essential requirements, but Duplicati excels at all three:
Keep your data safe: Duplicati uses strong encryption to ensure your data remains private. With a secure password, your backup files are safer on a public web server than unencrypted files at home.
Store your backup remotely: Protect your data from local disasters like fires by storing backups on remote servers. Duplicati supports incremental backups, making it efficient to use distant storage destinations.
Backup regularly: Outdated backups are as good as no backups. Duplicati's built-in scheduler ensures your backups are always current. It also uses compression and incremental backups to save storage and bandwidth.
About 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 70 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.
Users call rclone "The Swiss army knife of cloud storage", and "Technology indistinguishable from magic".
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 minimise local bandwidth use and transfers from one provider to another without using local disk.
