There are 3 core advantages of Duplicacy over any other open-source or commercial backup tools:

* Duplicacy is the *only* cloud backup tool that allows multiple computers to back up to the same cloud storage, taking advantage of cross-computer deduplication whenever possible, without direct communication among them. This feature basically turns any cloud storage server supporting only a basic set of file operations into a sophisticated deduplication-aware server.
* Duplicacy is the *only* cloud backup tool that allows multiple computers to back up to the same cloud storage, taking advantage of cross-computer deduplication whenever possible, without direct communication among them. This feature literally turns any cloud storage server supporting only a basic set of file operations into a sophisticated deduplication-aware server.

* Unlike other chunk-based backup tools where chunks are grouped into pack files and a chunk database is used to track which chunks are stored inside each pack file, Duplicacy takes a database-less approach where every chunk is saved independently using its hash as the file name to facilitate quick lookups. The lack of a centralized chunk database not only makes the implementation less error-prone, but also produces a highly maintainable piece of software with plenty of room for development of new features and usability enhancements.
