About:
HashBackup is a command-line deduplicating backup tool for macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD. It efficiently stores file versions using content-defined chunking to minimize storage space. The tool provides strong encryption and supports incremental backups to remote or local destinations.
Key Features:
  • Deduplication and compression to save storage
  • Strong AES-256 encryption for security
  • Incremental backups with efficient versioning
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, FreeBSD)
Use Cases:
  • Encrypted offsite backups for personal data
  • Efficient versioned backups for development environments
Alternatives:
  • restic – Similar deduplication and encryption; open-source with broader community
  • rsync – Faster for simple syncs but lacks built-in deduplication and encryption
