BackupPC
A self-hosted Backup, Sync & Storage app you can run on your own server.
BackupPC is an open, self-hosted backup, sync and storage tool — you install it on your own hardware and keep full control of your data. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
Development happens in the open on GitHub; the repository has collected 1.6K stars so far. Repository activity was last recorded on May 31, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.
Before you switch
Backup tools must be tested with a restore, not just a successful backup message. Run a trial recovery of one folder, verify checksums or snapshots, and store at least one copy off-site. Sync tools deserve the same care: test conflict behaviour with a throwaway file first.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, BackupPC is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
