Kopia vs Uranium Backup

Kopia is an open-source backup and restore tool that creates encrypted snapshots of selected files and directories. Snapshots are incremental, and content deduplication stores duplicate file content only once in a repository. Policies can schedule snapshots, set exclusions, define retention, and apply compression. Recovery options include mounting a snapshot as a local disk, restoring an entire snapshot to a chosen location, or selecting individual files. Kopia encrypts data and filenames before they leave the machine, supporting AES-256 and ChaCha20. Storage can use Amazon S3 and compatible services, Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, WebDAV, SFTP, local or network storage, and some Rclone providers; Rclone support is experimental. Reed-Solomon error correction and repository consistency checks address data integrity. CLI and GUI interfaces are available, with optional server mode and an API for managing multiple machines. KopiaUI provides a web application in server mode. The software is free, but storage must be provisioned and paid for separately.
