# Duplicacy: A new generation cloud backup tool
Duplicacy is a new generation cross-platform cloud backup tool based on the idea of [Lock-Free Dedeuplication]([design document](https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy-beta/blob/master/DESIGN.md)). Duplicacy is the only backup tool capable of cross-computer deduplication which allows multiple computers to back up to the same storage simultaneously without using any locks (thus readily amenable to various cloud storage services).

The repository hosts design documents as well as binary releases of the command line version. There is also a Duplicacy GUI frontend built for Windows and Mac OS X downloadable from https://duplicacy.com. The source code of the command line version is available to the commerical users of the Duplicacy GUI version upon request.
