BackBlaze Alternatives and Similar Software

Duplicati

Duplicati is a backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on local storage, cloud storage services and remote file servers. The Duplicati project was inspired by Duplicity and had similar functionality until 2008. In that year the storage model was redesigned completely and the program was rebuilt from scratch. This manual describes Duplicati 2, the version based on the new storage model.

• Duplicati is software that monitors changes in your files and creates backups to whatever destination you choose. It is not a service that provides storage, like Backblaze. But it does offer strong encryption, is free and open source. If it's storage online you want to buy for backup, try Backblaze with the encryption option on or go for Spideroak.

Spideroak One Backup

SpiderOak provides an easy, secure and consolidated online backup, storage, access, sharing & sync tool for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (Ubuntu, Debian & Fedora). SpiderOak offers a different approach to online backup, synchronization, and sharing.

• SpiderOak appears to be the most secure commercially available alternative to Backblaze. The only downside is that its rigorous "zero-knowledge" policy can place a more noticeable processing burden on low-end computers. It's also somewhat less intuitive to set up. robcollins • Aug 2019 Disagree   Agree
• Spideroak offers a "zero-knowledge" policy by default (they can't look at your files even if they wanted to) - which is great. Backblaze has this only as an option. Spideroak works on Linux, Backblaze has no Linux client. Backblaze is cheaper, but is for backups exclusively whereas with Spideroak you can also sync files between computers. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 Disagree   Agree

• Sync is a brilliant alternative to Dropbox rather than Backblaze. It does everything Dropbox does for Syncing but with the added privacy and security of end-to-end encryption. However, it for syncing, and not really for backups. For backups try Backblaze with encryption on, Spideroak or iDrive (both have end-to-end crypto by default).

Restic

Easy: Doing backups should be a frictionless process, otherwise you are tempted to skip it. Restic should be easy to configure and use, so that in the unlikely event of a data loss you can just restore it. Likewise, restoring data should not be complicated. Fast: Backing up your data with restic should only be limited by your network or hard disk bandwidth so that you can backup your files every day. Nobody does backups if it takes too much time.

Qtd Sync

A graphical interface for the Rsync engine that will synchronise files between two computers either locally or over the internet. The beauty of Rsync is that it only transfers the exact part of a file that has changed (differential synchronisation), saving bandwidth and time. This is not a cloud service like dropbox or sugarsync, but will sync between two computers over the net, a lan or to an external drive.

• It's cloud file hosting, which is not the same as backblaze or alternatives. It's intended use is for individual files, not entire systems. Guest • Aug 2015 Disagree   Agree
• Adrive doesn't give you nearly the same storage at the $5/month price level. If you want to store your photos and movies it will cost you at least 12.50 / month. michaelschwager • May 2015 Disagree   Agree

rdiff-backup

rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup.

• Discontinued The product seems to be no longer updated. Last version, 1.2.8, released in March 2009, can be still downloaded from the official website.
