I'm the lead developer of Acrosync for Windows. If you're interested in testing it, send an email to [email protected]. A few words about your test setup (windows version, server config, network speed, etc) would be nice.

We just released the source code less than 2 months ago. The difference in contributor counts may not be this big in one or two years from now.

Thanks for your feedback. The reason I don't like open-source licenses is that I don't want for-profit companies to use my software without paying. The ideal license would be the one that requires them to pay while being appealing to personal users like you. I don't think these two goals are irreconcilable, but unfortunately such a license doesn't exist yet.

Free or not free aside, my question is, does it matter to personal users between this free-for-personal-use license and any of those more permissive licenses like MIT, BSD, or GPL?

I noticed that, but didn't know if Borg has another meaning. I can understand why they forked the project, but in my opinion a name that makes the origin more obvious would have been better.

Author here. The experiments actually ran BorgBackup 1.1.0b6 as you can see from the Setup section. We liked to call it Attic out of the respect to the original Attic author.

I'm the developer of Duplicacy (https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy), a new generation cloud backup tool based on the idea of Lock-Free Deduplication(https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/blob/master/DESIGN....). Currently Duplicacy supports many cloud storages (S3, Azure, GCP, B2, etc), and I would be very interested to build one for DO Object Storage.

Is it possible to get early developer access to the API?
