I'd throw in kopia[0], fast, many features and easy to use across platforms.

[0] https://kopia.io/



Last time I tried Kopia was more like "select ONE folder to backup and add ONE destination to SNAPSHOT it to". While it is very simplistic and would be lovely in many use cases - for a home/personal backup which often requires granularity of inclusion and exclusion it just didn't make any sense. I am not sure whether that has changed.


Kopia allows to specify quite different snapshot configurations with patterns etc. I converted old snapshot since 2005 backwards into the same dedup mounted on diverse paths, so I wonder what would be missing.


Something like this https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/040_backup.html#incl... is missing. Or let's say something like Borg's PATH arg.

i.e multiple files/sources to be backed up to one destination/sink in one go. Not one by one in different snapshots.


I have seen Kopia mentioned from time to time but never as often as borg. Does it have a good reputation?


It's not as old, but has a Gui and is native on Linux/Windows/Macos.


I've been using it for years with zero problems.
