BorgBackup

About

BorgBackup (short: Borg) is a free and open-source deduplicating backup program, available for Mac, Linux (including Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian), BSD, and Cygwin. Launched as a community-driven project, it offers a comprehensive suite of features including compression, authenticated encryption, data deduplication, incremental, remote, automatic, and scheduled backups, all designed with a strong emphasis on privacy and lightweight operation. Users frequently praise its user-friendly command-line interface and its efficiency for server environments, noting it requires no additional frameworks like Mono, unlike some alternatives. While some feedback suggests a higher entry point for new users, its robust reliability and functionality are highly valued, especially when integrated with graphical front-ends like Vorta, with some users preferring it over competitors such as rsnapshot, Veeam, duplicati, duply.net, or resic. The project maintains an active presence on GitHub. Specific details regarding revenue, financials, leadership, founding year, or employee count are not publicly available, underscoring its nature as a community-developed, open-source solution.
