#### Fast and secure backups with encryption, compression and deduplication

Kopia takes encrypted, compressed and deduplicated snapshots of your
directories and stores them in a repository on a local disk, an SFTP or
WebDAV server, or cloud storage such as Amazon S3 and S3-compatible
services, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Backblaze B2 and
Google Drive. Snapshots are incremental, can be verified, browsed
in the desktop or web interface and restored file by file.

Open Kopia from your application menu or run kopia for the desktop.

**Examples**

```
kopia.cli repository create filesystem --path /media/usb/kopia
kopia.cli repository create s3 --bucket my-backups --access-key ... --secret-access-key ...
kopia.cli snapshot create ~/Documents
kopia.cli snapshot list
kopia.cli restore <snapshot-id> ~/restored
kopia.cli server start --insecure --without-password
```

The last command serves the Kopia web interface on <http://127.0.0.1:51515>.

**File access**

Kopia can back up and restore files in your home directory. To use USB
drives and other removable media (/media, /mnt), run:

```
sudo snap connect kopia:removable-media
```

For SFTP repositories that use your existing SSH keys, run:

```
sudo snap connect kopia:ssh-keys
```

To store the repository password in the desktop keyring (--use-keyring),
run:

```
sudo snap connect kopia:password-manager-service
```
