About:
Kopia is a cross-platform command-line interface (CLI) tool that provides fast, encrypted, and deduplicated backups to various cloud storage providers and local targets. It uses content-addressable storage to efficiently save space by only storing unique data blocks. This approach ensures data integrity and significantly reduces backup times and storage costs.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Strong encryption and data deduplication
  • Supports multiple storage backends (S3, Azure, GCS, local, and more)
  • Policy-based snapshots and retention
  • Web UI and desktop app available
Use Cases:
  • Secure offsite backups to personal or cloud storage
  • Creating efficient, space-saving archives for large datasets
  • Automated server and database backups
Alternatives:
  • restic – Similar functionality; Kopia often praised for its faster performance and built-in UI.
  • borg – Dedicated to local/archival storage; Kopia offers broader native cloud backend support.
