Kopia, which sounds a bit like a variant of "Copy," is indeed its essence: smartly copying, backing up, and managing your data. This is an open-source backup tool that emphasizes being lightweight, fast, and flexible. The design is very simple, allowing both beginners and backup veterans to quickly get started. It is compatible with various storage methods, whether it's local hard drives, cloud storage, or NAS, it can handle it all.
Kopia supports Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, so whether you are a Mac user, a Windows user, or a Linux geek, you can easily get started. Moreover, it offers both command-line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) operation modes, making it suitable for both tech enthusiasts and novice users.
Performance Features
Incremental Backup: Only changed data will be backed up, saving time and space. You just need to press a button, and Kopia will silently take care of all the changed files.
Powerful Encryption: The security of your data is paramount, and Kopia uses industry-standard encryption algorithms to keep your backups as safe as if they were locked in a safe.

Storage Flexibility: The supported storage backends are incredibly rich, supporting local storage, cloud storage (such as S3, Google Drive), FTP, SMB, and more.
