About Kopia
Kopia is an open source backup tool for Windows, macOS and Linux. It makes encrypted, compressed and deduplicated snapshots of your files and stores them in the cloud storage you choose. You can work with it through a desktop app or from the command line.
What it does
Kopia takes snapshots of the folders you select and saves them to a storage location you pick. Data is encrypted and compressed before it is stored, and duplicate content is kept only once. You can set policies that control how snapshots are kept, and restore files quickly when you need them.
