Top Rated Duplicati Alternatives
18 Duplicati Reviews
It is extremely flexible, as well as highly set-and-forget, with very customizable backup destinations and easy data recovery. You can backup to basically any location you can imagine as well as customizing which files to back up and which backups to keep, and it automatically performs compressed incremental backups, using fairly little storage depending on the compressability of your backups.

Setting it up and learning the interface may be a bit harder than some other apps, but if you're familiar with apps that expose web UIs, this will be very easy to learn and self-host Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that it's open source, and I can use it however I like, depending on what my needs are or may become. If you're not a "tech" person, don't run away just yet! Yes, you have to open up the instructions and put the pieces together for this one, but it really isn't all that hard and I think it's worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a little barebones in the feature department. And if you're looking to share files and do all of that extra jazz...yeesh. Duplicati is more of a personal solution than anything else. Oh, and there' s no free storage for everyone here either. It manages your cloud backups, it doesn't host them anywhere. That's all on you to figure out and maintain.

Duplicati has a browser application that is compatible with Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, to backup files locally without having to install a desktop application that consumes space and memory. I like its user interface that is simplistic and with one click you can run a backup. It also has an option to organize folders and selectively select files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A disadvantage of this software is the versioning of files, which does not update immediately and sometimes there may be duplication of data by human error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Duplicati has great assistance from its customer service and a very easy implementation. What I like most is that this software works with protocols such as FTP or SSH, is under AES-256 encryption and is a free software. In addition, it saves space with incremental backups.

The software is configured to use a fraction of the bandwidth, so if it is not checked on time, your backups may take too long to upload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Duplicati works with the most important cloud providers in the market, such as Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive. I like that you also allow backups on local external servers. In addition, time is saved because this software creates a full backup at the beginning and then updates it by adding only the parts of the data that have changed.

Customer service usually takes almost two days to answer a query. On the other hand, Duplicati still does not have a mobile application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The app is free and supports a lot of protocols. As well it can run on a lot of platforms(MacOS, Windows, Linux) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Hard to make the initial backup if it is big (so you required gradually increase backup size)
- A lot of bugs (backup interrupts too easily)
- Hard to set up right permissions so it will access all files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Free and open source is nice, so everyone can do backups. Support of the most popular remote storages and protocols. Ability to backup any folders you want and therefore do complete backup with system folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Network interruptions stop backup and it will continue only on the next scheduled run. The interface is unintuitive in some parts and sometimes overly complicated(for example not many people will schedule many different backups for a computer, but the interface is designed for that).

I like that it creates local or remote backups and it is multiplatform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that it runs on mono. I'd rather it ran native or under Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
