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.
