Wait. The title uses the word free, but you write that it requires payment. Looking at the website I can't find a way to pay for it other than a donation.

How is it paid? It's fully open-source, LGPL licensed, and from the website the only payment options are donations.

A more accurate description might be that Duplicati is a free open source Windows version of Duplicity. It works pretty well, by the way.

re: edit: duplicacy is also free and open source for just the CLI version ( https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases ) , the 'slick paid frontend' is optional and sold by https://duplicacy.com/ https://duplicacy.com/ and even then is free "to restore, check, copy, or prune existing backups"
