Vorta Backup Client

Vorta is a backup client for macOS and Linux desktops. It integrates the mighty BorgBackup with your desktop environment to protect your data from disk failure, ransomware and theft.

Why is this great? 🤩

Encrypted, deduplicated and compressed backups using Borg as backend.
No vendor lock-in – back up to local drives, your own server or BorgBase, a hosting service for Borg backups.
Open source – free to use, modify, improve and audit.
Flexible profiles to group source folders, backup destinations and schedules.
One place to view all point-in-time archives and restore individual files.

Installation

Vorta should work on all platforms that support Qt and Borg. This includes macOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux and many others. Windows is currently not supported by Borg, but this may change in the future.

For available packages and instructions, see INSTALL.md
