I've tried a lot of different backup software, and I keep coming back to this free, open-source tool

If you're like me, you've probably tried a dozen different backup tools, hoping to find one that actually works the way you want. I've gone from bloated commercial suites that slow down my system to minimalistic apps that lack key features to cloud-only platforms with unreliable privacy policies. The frustration was real — some tools charged for basic functionality, others made restoring data a nightmare, and some just outright failed during crucial backups. Many such programs don't even come with a simple schedule backup option.
