A great summary of existing tools and libraries for backup: https://github.com/restic/others
Go. Great (CLI) UI but really specialized in backup. This does not provide any global file indexing or distribution of storage amongst several devices.
Python, with error correction
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.
Library for rsync-style synchro. Might be interesting if writting my own project in Go.
