Duplicati v1.3.3

  • 24MB (uncompressed)
  • Suggested by procyon

Duplicati is a feature-rich backup client that allows user store compressed, encrypted backups locally or on a variety of remote services. The program can save bandwidth and disk writes by only backing up the parts of a file that have changed since the last backup. It can backup open/running programs, on demand or scheduled, and can run in the background with bandwidth and process priority limits to avoid interfering with other applications. Includes support for backups to Amazon S3, Windows Live SkyDrive, Google Drive (Google Docs), Rackspace Cloud Files or WebDAV, SSH and FTP.

Note that as portable software, it necessarily does not run at system startup so the available scheduling tools cannot function unless the program is actually running. To manually run a backup, just start the wizard and select "Run a backup immediately".

Cross platform (Mac/Linux) with available command-line tools.

Languages: Spanish, French, German, Danish, Portugese, Italian, and Chinese.

What's new?
  • Added: Log file now shows when target server was not available (r1346)
  • Added: After waking up from hibernation, Duplicati pauses for 5 minutes like at startup to grant the system some time to fully recover (r1343 + r1354)
  • Added: Support for symlinks and NTFS junctions ( issue #144 ). Advanced options allow to store|follow|ignore symlinks with store being the default. Look for "symlink-policy" in the advanced options.
  • Added: Filters based on file attributes ( issue #577 ). It's now possible to e.g. exclude system files or hidden files. It's part of the advanced options. The option is called "exclude-files-attributes".
  • Added: Support for loooong file names under Windows ( issue #320 ). It's now possible to backup files with paths >260 chars.
  • Added: Support for Tonido backend ( issue #671 ). We changed the authentication for WebDAV a bit, so that it now works with Tonido.
  • Added: Trying to speed up VSS under Windows XP with r1413. This is an attempt to solve issue #435 .
  • Fixed: German translation updated ( issue #657 ). We received a few improvements and added these now.
  • Fixed: Unable to translate Unicode character \uDC63 at index 72 to specified code page ( issue #480 )
  • Fixed: Only single volume uploaded (introduced in build 1388 and fixed in r1437 and r1438), issue #692

If you delete the additional languages, filesize is 18.5MB for filesize-conscious freaks like me!

Thanks! Recently found the need to backup some of my working files into the cloud and came across this app in TPFC forums (thanks webfork!). Will come in handy!

Freakazoid: procyon deserves more credit than me, but glad you found it useful. I have a ton of space sitting around unused in online cloud services and thought why not use some of it with an easy, encrypted backup? :) This program does that *beautifully*.

So been testing this out for the last few weeks and I'm very impressed. It's rapidly overtaking SuperDuper -- my favorite backup program of many years -- as the best backup program available. Speed, efficiency, control, as well as ease of restore. I have an excellent, Enterprise-level backup tool that's worked beautifully to date, but Duplicati works better and more efficiently (and it's free).

Is this in anyway compatible with Amazon Cloud Drive?

Midas: sadly not... I've had difficulty finding any kind of interface for Amazon's Cloud drive that isn't logging in via a web browser. I really hope they open that up eventually.

Have you tried Gladinet Free Starter Edition?
(http://www.gladinet.com/p/download_starter_V4.htm)

It ain't portable, requires DotNET and kinda messed up my system, but it's the only proposition I found...
