Duplicati is backup software for Windows, macOS, and Linux that covers computers and servers. It can back up desktops, laptops, local servers, NAS devices, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and S3 buckets. Destinations include S3, WebDAV, SFTP, and local hardware; cloud data can also be copied to an on-prem SAN or private S3 cluster. Duplicati encrypts data locally with AES-256 before it reaches a network or cloud destination and transfers only changed blocks. Retention rules can remove older backups or keep a chosen number. Administrators can create configurations for multiple clients, delegate local management to regional staff, and isolate clients in sub-organizations. One subscription supports unlimited clients and endpoints. The free plan includes an insights dashboard, monitoring for up to 2 machines, and access to the last 200 backups. Pro adds alerts, AI analysis, remote management, retention, storage, and priority support. Pro costs 2.00 USD per month with annual billing. Enterprise costs 3.00 USD per month, billed yearly, and requires a yearly contract and at least 10 machines.
