Duplicity is also another tools that uses rsync algorithm to find and stores differences, but makes unfortunately incremental backups. On upside - it can store backup on anything that you can push files (FTP, S3, IMAP, ...) and it is the only rsync-related solution with encryption I could find

There is also a very nice full solution - BoxBackup, which unfortunately looks not very active now. It is continuous backup, with block level de-duplication, client-side encryption. Unfortunately uses its own format, where I strongly prefer to have things more standard, so you can manually fix them if something goes wrong.

- ar-jan 10y agoMaybe you'll be interested in https://github.com/restic/restic https://github.com/restic/restic. It does deduplication (with content defined chunking) and client-side encryption, and is actively developed. It does also use its own pack format, but that's fully documented. I'm currently using it for backing up about 1.5TB and it's working very well.

- Zitrax 10y agoThere seem to be some activity now in the github repo and the home page has definitely been updated since last time i visited it.
