kopia/kopia: README-based editorial guide

kopia/kopia describes itself in the README as "Cross-platform backup tool for Windows, macOS & Linux with fast, incremental backups, client-side end-to-end encryption, compression and data deduplication. CLI and GUI included.". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "README", the README says: Kopia is a fast and secure open-source backup/restore tool that allows you to create encrypted. Kopia does not 'image' your whole machine.. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "README" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: Any remote server or cloud storage that supports WebDAV. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: Amazon S3 and any cloud storage that is compatible with S3. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "README". The source evidence includes: When ready, head to the installation for a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use Kopia.. This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: README 没有给出可直接复制的安装命令。 When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "Getting started" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
