About

Déjà Dup is a simple backup tool. It hides the complexity of backing up the Right Way (encrypted, off-site, and regular) and uses duplicity as the backend. - Support for local, remote, or cloud backup locations such as Google Drive and Nextcloud - 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
