FastBackup: A Mirror That Only Moves Changes
A downloadable backup utility that mirrors folders to local disks while skipping unchanged files and deduplicating identical content.
Field notes
The tool mirrors a source folder onto a user-owned disk, using Blake3 hashing to skip unchanged files and hardlinks to avoid storing identical content repeatedly. Its destination preserves the source directory structure so files can be inspected directly, while automation can run on a schedule, at log-in, on startup, or from the system tray. The page offers version 0.1.11 as a single self-contained executable, with no installer or separate runtime described.
