Relica 2.0.0: Now 2.4x Faster Backups

Significantly Faster Backups

We've rebuilt Relica's backup engine for speed across all scenarios:

Smarter Compression

Relica 2.0.0 includes improved compression that reduces your cloud storage costs:

• Better compression ratios — store more data in less space
• Faster compression — no longer a bottleneck during backups
• Automatic optimization — Relica chooses the best settings for your data

The result: lower monthly storage bills without any extra configuration.

Redesigned Interface

A completely modernized look with a premium dark theme:

• Dark theme throughout — easier on the eyes, especially for overnight backups
• Cleaner layouts — focus on what matters
• Improved status indicators — instantly see backup health at a glance

Enhanced Backup Dashboard

The new dashboard gives you a complete picture of your backup status:

• At-a-glance health overview — see all your backups in one place
• Storage usage breakdown — understand where your space is going
• Recent activity timeline — track what's been backed up
• Quick actions — run, pause, or configure backups with one click

Setup Wizard

New users get a guided experience to configure their first backup:

• Step-by-step setup — no guesswork required
• Source selection — easily pick folders to back up
• Destination guidance — choose cloud, local, or both
• Schedule configuration — set it and forget it

Existing users can also use the wizard to create additional backups.

Real-Time Progress Tracking

See exactly what's happening during your backups:

• Live progress bar with percentage complete
• File counter: "Processing file 4,567 of 10,000"
• Data transferred: "9.0 GB / 20.0 GB"
• Transfer speed: "87.3 MB/s"
• Time remaining: "2m 34s"
• Current file being backed up

Updates appear instantly — no more waiting to see if your backup is running.

Smarter CPU Management

Relica now handles resources more intelligently:

• No throttling on manual backups — when you click "Run Now," Relica uses full speed to finish as quickly as possible
• 50% CPU limit for scheduled backups — background backups won't slow down your computer while you work
• Configurable throttling coming soon — future builds will let you customize these settings

Expanded Cloud Storage Support

30+ additional cloud storage providers now supported:

• Cloudflare R2 — S3-compatible with no egress fees
• Enhanced Backblaze B2 — improved native API support
• More S3-compatible providers — expanded compatibility
• Better WebDAV and SFTP — improved reliability for self-hosted storage

All your existing cloud configurations continue to work without changes.
