Kopia 0.22.3 released

Published by

Kopia version 0.22.3 has been released, enhancing its status as a dependable Open Source backup and restore application. This software allows users to create encrypted snapshots of vital data and securely store them in a location of their choice. Kopia offers the flexibility to back up essential files and directories either to remote or cloud storage, network-attached storage, servers, or locally on devices. Unlike traditional full machine imaging, Kopia allows users to selectively choose which files or directories to back up and restore.

Kopia caters to both advanced and casual users with its command-line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) options. Key features of Kopia include compression, deduplication, end-to-end 'zero knowledge' encryption, and error correction, ensuring a comprehensive backup solution.

Users have complete freedom over their storage options, as Kopia is designed to work independently of the storage component, allowing backups to be directed to various platforms. It supports multiple storage locations, enabling backups from different devices to the same repository.

Supported storage options include:
- Amazon S3 and any compatible cloud storage
- Azure Blob Storage
- Backblaze B2
- Google Cloud Storage
- Any remote server or cloud storage that supports WebDAV or SFTP
- Some cloud storage options available through Rclone, with experimental support for services like Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

Rclone must be installed separately, but Kopia manages its operations thereafter, streamlining the backup process. Additionally, users can back up their local machines, network-attached storage, and servers by setting up a Kopia Repository Server.

In summary, Kopia 0.22.3 enhances user control and flexibility in data backup while maintaining high security and usability standards. Future updates may focus on expanding compatibility with additional cloud storage providers and improving Rclone integration, making Kopia an even more versatile tool for data protection
