## The Existing

A great summary of existing tools and libraries for backup:
https://github.com/restic/others


### Restic
Go. Great (CLI) UI but really specialized in backup. This does not
provide any global file indexing or distribution of storage amongst
several devices.

### Bup
Python, with error correction

### Camlistore
Complete solution for file organization, written in Go, heavily
followed (1,700+ stars)

Seems a bit more complicated than it should, also, the Web UI is not
bug-proof and the command line does not seem to be designed the best
way.

### go-sync
Library for rsync-style synchro. Might be interesting if writting my
own project in Go.
