About Déjà Dup Backups
Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses Restic behind the scenes.
Support for local, remote, or cloud backup locations such as Google Drive
Securely encrypts and compresses your data
Incrementally backs up, letting you restore from any particular backup
Schedules regular backups
Integrates well into your GNOME desktop
Déjà Dup focuses on ease of use and recovering from personal, accidental data loss. If you need a full system backup or an archival program, you may prefer other backup apps.
