Please take some time to answer the following questions as best you can:

  • Why is it awesome?

mtsaver is a simple tool that requires no complex setups, creates no custom format backups, just usual 7-zip archives. No need for any software (including itself) to inspect or unpack created backups. Perfectly solves simple task of backuping directory with files changed periodically. Allows flexible archives retention schemes, archive encryption.

  • Have you used it? For how long?

Use it for personal backups since 2023. And use it at work to backup directories with corporate documents archive (for several companies).

  • Is this in a personal or professional setup?

More a kind of personal. But used for professional backups as well. It is mostly about simple backup solution for everyone.

  • How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

40-50

  • Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Biggest Pros: simplicity - no installation, no repository setup, no database required.

  • Any other comments about your use case, things you've found excellent, limitations you've encountered... ?

Combined mtsaver with syncthing and we have distributed, selfhosted-cloud-stored and FREE differential backup folder history for half a year without any complex software used.
