Only changes leave the server
After the first snapshot, incremental backups transfer and store only what changed. That means shorter backup windows, less bandwidth, and more recovery points for the same storage budget.
Incremental Backup Without the Storage Bloat
Use Backuply incremental backup engines (Restic, Borg, Rsync) to back up only changed data. Cut backup windows, save disk space, and keep frequent recovery points for servers.
Choose the right engine
Backuply supports multiple incremental technologies so you can match the destination and operational model you prefer.
- Restic — modern, encrypted, efficient repositories
- Borg — deduplicated archives for supported hosts
- Rsync — classic efficient file-level sync for SSH/local paths
Pair with multi-scheduling
Run frequent incrementals hourly or nightly, keep longer compressed fulls weekly, and apply rotation limits so retention stays predictable.
