Added bup and attic
I took the liberty of adding the burgeoning bup and attic projects, which, while they do not have wikipedia pages seem notable in the way they basically surpass all other software right now in terms of performance and disk space efficiency.--TheAnarcat (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Legend?
Distributed partials? Error correction? I am not sure what those actually mean - can we clarify? --TheAnarcat (talk) 16:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
I've update the info about BackupPC but haven't filled in the Simple Server or Distributed Partials columns because I have no idea what the original author meant by those terms --Loz hurst (talk) 12:11, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Merger proposal
See Talk:List_of_backup_software#Merger_proposal for a discussion about a merge.--TheAnarcat (talk) 16:40, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

The most interesting columns are missing: Delta and Deduplication
.. which are the support of deduplication (if multiple same files are found only 1 is backuped) and delta encoding (only the changed bits INSIDE a file are backuped in an incremental/differential backup, not the entire file). The combination of both technologies plus compression can result in smaller incremental or differential backup files by orders of magnitude, so this is one of the very interesting features. I believe all these columns should be added to allow a good comparison of the software tools:
- full backup
- incremental backup
- differential backup
- files system snapshots
- delta encoding
- deduplication
- compression
