Vykar

Fast, encrypted, deduplicated backup tool in Rust with a YAML config and desktop GUI.

Desktopfree

Vykar is a backup tool written in Rust that performs fast, encrypted, and deduplicated backups using a YAML configuration file, with a built-in scheduling daemon, WebDAV browser, and a desktop GUI for browsing and restoring snapshots. It supports local disk, S3-compatible, SFTP, and REST storage backends and is aimed at sysadmins and self-hosters. The project currently advises against relying on it for production backups.
