Buy through a link here and the vendor pays this site a commission. Your price doesn't change. How that works.

Free backup with a GUI

Kopia costs 0 under the Apache 2.0 license and ships both a GUI and a CLI for Windows, macOS and Linux. Backups are encrypted, compressed and deduplicated. You pay your own cloud storage provider, since Kopia sells none.
