Backone makes it simple to keep your important files safe in the cloud. Connect to Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, or similar services, select your folders, and Backone handles everything automatically. Your files are always up-to-date with real-time change detection.
With Backone's simple one-way sync, you can select any folders on your Mac to be uploaded to your cloud storage. Changes to your files are detected instantly and synced automatically, so your backups are always up-to-date. And we never modify local files. Thanks to support for multiple cloud providers, you can connect to Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, and any S3-compatible object storage services using standard APIs. Using smart delta updates, Backone saves you time and bandwidth by intelligently uploading only files that have actually changed, making your backups faster and more efficient. Working silently in the background, Backone keeps your backups current by automatically detecting and uploading changes to your files without any manual intervention.

Backone uses content-defined chunking to split files into variable-sized blocks (4MB-64MB). When files change, our algorithm identifies only the modified blocks and uploads just those changes. This reduces bandwidth usage by up to 90% and minimizes cloud storage costs while ensuring data integrity through SHA-256 checksums.
Yes, Backone maintains a complete version history using an efficient metadata index. You can restore specific versions by date/time or browse the version timeline. The application supports both full restores and selective file/folder recovery with original paths or custom locations.
