Open source backup software

Software Recommendations Asked on December 26, 2021

Can anyone recommend a software for windows 10 with a graphical user itnerface to create backups of my laptop hard drive to an external hard drive. Ideally, the software would be free and open source.

I’ve been using AOMEI Backupper which in general works satisfactory but I’d prefer open source software. Today I’ve tried DirSync which in general seems nice but apparently it works rather slow for folders with many (>1,000,000) files.

DirSync is good for backing up individual folders (including subfolders).

Have a look at Duplicati, it's free and open source (LGPL), Source Code on Github. It supports a lot of backup endpoints including of course local external hard drives.

It has a user interface, works on Windows 10 and supports encryption.
