# Duplicacy: A new generation cloud backup tool
# Duplicacy: A lock-free deduplication cloud backup tool
Duplicacy is a new generation cross-platform cloud backup tool based on the idea of [Lock-Free Dedeuplication]([design document](https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy-beta/blob/master/DESIGN.md)). Duplicacy is the only backup tool capable of cross-computer deduplication which allows multiple computers to back up to the same storage simultaneously without using any locks (thus readily amenable to various cloud storage services).

The repository hosts design documents as well as binary releases of the command line version. There is also a Duplicacy GUI frontend built for Windows and Mac OS X downloadable from https://duplicacy.com. The source code of the command line version is available to the commerical users of the Duplicacy GUI version upon request.

* Incremental backup: only back up what has been changed
* Full snapshot : although each backup is incremental, it must behave like a full snapshot for easy restore and deletion

You'll need to input the account id and application key.
Backblaze offers perhaps the least expensive cloud storage at 0.5 cent per GB per month. Unfortunately their API does not support file renaming, so the -exclusive option is required when pruning old backups. This means concurrent access and deletion can't be permitted at the same time.
Backblaze's B2 storage is not only the least expensive (at 0.5 cent per GB per month), but also the fastest. We have been working closely with their developers to leverage the full potentials provided by the B2 API in order to maximumize the transfer speed. As a result, the B2 storage is the only one to support the multi-threading option which can easily max out your upload link.
#### Google Drive
```
Storage URL: gcd://path/to/storage
```
To use Google Drive as the storage, you first need to download a token file from https://duplicacy.com/gcd_start by
authorizing Duplicacy to access your Google Drive, and then enter the path to this token file to Duplicacy when prompted.
#### Microsoft OneDrive
```
Storage URL: one://path/to/storage
```
To use Microsoft OneDrive as the storage, you first need to download a token file from https://duplicacy.com/one_start by
authorizing Duplicacy to access your OneDrive, and then enter the path to this token file to Duplicacy when prompted.
#### Hubic
```
Storage URL: hubic://path/to/storage
```
To use Hubic as the storage, you first need to download a token file from https://duplicacy.com/hubic_start by
authorizing Duplicacy to access your Hubic drive, and then enter the path to this token file to Duplicacy when prompted.
Hubic offers the most free space (25GB) of all major cloud providers and there is no bandwidth charge (same as Google Drive and OneDrive), so it may be worth a try.
