Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Vorn v1.0.3

👉 Fast, private, crash-safe backup program with advanced features.

Vorn is a modern local-first backup application designed to securely protect files without relying on cloud services, subscriptions, accounts, or telemetry. Instead of uploading data to external servers, Vorn stores everything inside a local vault controlled entirely by the user. The software uses content-addressable storage powered by BLAKE3 hashing, allowing duplicate data to be stored only once even across multiple backup sessions. This greatly reduces storage usage while improving backup efficiency.

Vorn was built with reliability and data integrity in mind. It uses atomic writes, write-ahead logging, resumable operations, and integrity verification to help prevent corruption during crashes or unexpected shutdowns. Large files are automatically divided into chunks, making backups more resilient and easier to resume if interrupted. Optional gzip compression can reduce storage requirements further while maintaining compatibility with the portable vault format.

The application features a clean desktop interface with dark and light themes, portable executables, and cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Since the backup vault is self-contained and self-describing, users can move backups between systems or restore files to different locations without depending on proprietary cloud infrastructure. Vorn is designed for users who want complete control of their backups while maintaining speed, privacy, and simplicity.

Warning:
Avoid compression with Google Drive sync. If your store folder lives inside a synced Google Drive directory, disable compression for sessions pointing to that store. Google Drive can silently re-encode files, corrupting the compressed payload inside each .vorn container.
1) Create a Store — pick a destination folder (external drive, NAS, second internal drive).
2) Create a Session — name it, pick the source folders to protect, choose compression and chunking strategy.
3) Run Backup — Vorn scans, deduplicates, packs into the store.
4) Restore Anytime — browse any past run, extract individual files or whole snapshots to any location.
