Borg
Deduplicating archiver with compression and encryption. BorgBackup (short Borg) gives you space-efficient storage of backups. Secure, authenticated encryption. Compression, LZ4, zlib, LZMA, zstd (since borg 1.1.4). Mountable backups with FUSE. Easy installation on multiple platforms, Linux, macOS, BSD. Free software (BSD license). Backed by a large and active open source community. Optionally, it supports compression and authenticated encryption. The main goal of Borg is to provide an efficient and secure way to backup data. The data deduplication technique used makes Borg suitable for daily backups since only changes are stored. The authenticated encryption technique makes it suitable for backups to not fully trusted targets. Deduplication based on content-defined chunking is used to reduce the number of bytes stored: each file is split into a number of variable length chunks and only chunks that have never been seen before are added to the repository.

Duplicacy
A new generation cross-platform cloud backup tool. Duplicacy backs up your files to many cloud storages with client-side encryption and the highest level of deduplication. Duplicacy is built on top of a new idea called lock-free deduplication, which works by relying on the basic file system API to manage deduplicated chunks without using any locks. A two-step fossil collection algorithm is devised to solve the fundamental problem of deleting unreferenced chunks under the lock-free condition, making the deletion of old backups possible without using a centralized chunk database. Duplicacy comes with a newly designed web-based GUI that is not only artistically appealing but also functionally powerful. With just a few clicks, you can effortlessly set up backup, copy, check and prune jobs that will reliably protect your data while making the most efficient use of your storage space. The intuitive dashboard includes several statistical charts.
