Tarsnap launched on June 11, 2015 with 68 votes, #908 of 3,954 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

What it does

Tarsnap is a command-line backup tool for UNIX with client-side encryption and block-level deduplication. Pay per byte stored, no monthly minimums. Runs on Linux, BSD, and macOS.

Cygwin and the Windows Subsystem for Linux are also supported. There are no other fees — Tarsnap has no fixed costs or minimum monthly fees. As usual, there are also lots of minor build fixes, harmless bug fixes, and code cleanups. You can see all of the changes between 1.0.40 and this version in our tarsnap git repositoryfrom tarsnap.com
