    open source which is very important when chosing a backup solution. you dont want a compnay to fold or something happen and find backups made 5 years ago to be unusable. lifetime licence is great and works very well in unraid. easy to back up to cloud storage and locally. restore also work quite well. install duplicacy on another laptop if needed and then in the web gui, browse to the folder and restore what you want to a set location.

    Very efficient. Its lock free technology is great and the deduplication across computers makes it incredibly fast.
