I found this backup solution a few days ago and I already love it! Time to share!

Vykar is a new backup solution in an early state, that is inspired by Borg and Restic. It offers a fast and encrypted backup solution with an easy YAML formatted configuration. It can back up to a local repository, S3, its own backup server or all of them. Deduplication and snapshots are integrated, in daemon mode it has a built-in scheduler too.

Run it via the provided binaries, the GUI or use it in Docker. Recovery can be easily done via the CLI or starting a local web server to browse the files or access them via WebDAV.

Example YAML configuration (for showing its simplicity), full docs here

# vykar configuration file

I feel that the bar could be lower for less hardcore people ;)
