# Why Use Duplicati?
|
||||
|
||||
Keep your data safe, store it remotely, and back it up regularly! Many backup solutions fail to meet these essential requirements, but Duplicati excels at all three:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Keep your data safe:** Duplicati uses strong encryption to ensure your data remains private. With a secure password, your backup files are safer on a public web server than unencrypted files at home.
|
||||
- **Store your backup remotely:** Protect your data from local disasters like fires by storing backups on remote servers. Duplicati supports incremental backups, making it efficient to use distant storage destinations.
|
||||
- **Backup regularly:** Outdated backups are as good as no backups. Duplicati's built-in scheduler ensures your backups are always current. It also uses compression and incremental backups to save storage and bandwidth.
