## Description

This free, open-source backup tool lets system administrators manage network backups from a single web interface. It uses rsync and rsnapshot to provide efficient, deduplicated backups with hardlinks, enabling instant recovery of any backup point. The software supports both Linux and Windows clients, offers pre- and post-backup scripts, quota management, email notifications, and multi-language support. Deployment options include Docker Compose, native Debian/Ubuntu packages, or manual installation. A MariaDB/MySQL database stores configuration and metadata, while backup data lives on the filesystem (local or NFS). Licensed under GPL-3.0, actively maintained since 2013.
