Comparisons
Honest, side-by-side breakdowns against the tools you already know.
Backup Data vs AWS Backup: which fits your stack?
An honest comparison of Backup Data and AWS Backup: portability, encryption models, pricing, restore verification, and when each one is the right call.
Backup Data vs Backblaze B2: a backup system or a cheap bucket?
Backblaze B2 is the best-value object storage there is. But a bucket is not a backup system. An honest comparison of where each fits for database and application backups.
Backup Data vs BorgBackup: who runs the repository?
Borg is excellent software with a genuinely strong security model. The real difference isn't dedupe or encryption — both have those. It's who maintains the repo server, and single-writer locking.
Backup Data vs pgBackRest: physical PITR or portable dumps?
pgBackRest gives you point-in-time recovery to the transaction, which no logical dump can match. It also restores only into the same Postgres major version. An honest comparison.
Backup Data vs restic: managed service or self-run tool?
restic and Backup Data agree on how backups should work: dedupe, snapshots, client-side encryption. The real difference is who runs the system. An honest comparison.
Backup Data vs rsync: a transfer tool is not a backup system
rsync is the best file-copying tool ever written and it has no versioning, no retention, and no restore verification. An honest comparison, including when rsync is still the right answer.
