UrBackup
UrBackup is an open source client/server backup system that combines image and file backups with incremental snapshots and a web interface.
About UrBackup
UrBackup runs as a server on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, with clients available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It performs both full disk images and individual file backups, using incremental snapshots to keep storage use low. The system includes a built-in web interface for managing clients, checking backup status, and restoring files. You can restore individual files through the client or mount images directly. UrBackup supports deduplication, compression, and encryption. It can back up to local drives, network shares, or cloud storage via plugins. The server handles scheduling automatically, and clients can trigger backups on demand. Setup is straightforward: install the server, add clients via a shared key, and let it run. The project is maintained by Martin Raiber and contributors. It is released under the GPLv3. The documentation covers installation, configuration, and advanced features like running without a database or using custom backup scripts. UrBackup is a solid choice for home users and small businesses that want a self-hosted backup solution without recurring license fees.
