BorgBackup stores each identical chunk of content only once, across files and over time, so daily backups of a large projects folder take very little extra space. Data is compressed and encrypted so the remote server only sees ciphertext, and an old archive can be mounted as a folder to pull out a single file. No background service is needed: the repository can be a USB disk or a server reached over SSH. It suits anyone running a Linux server or NAS. Limitations: it is command-line only (GUIs such as Vorta are separate), Windows is not fully supported and there are no built-in cloud destinations.
