Could you build this?

Partial While basic file copying and scheduling can be vibe-coded, robust cross-platform backup software requires handling filesystem-level snapshots (VSS/LVM), deduplication, encryption, and zero-data-loss guarantees.

What it would actually take: A reliable backup client typically uses Go or Rust with integration to low-level OS APIs (Windows VSS, macOS APFS snapshots), content-defined chunking (like FastCDC), client-side AES-GCM encryption, and local daemon architectures. The hardest part is ensuring atomicity, fault tolerance against abrupt shutdowns, handling locked system files, and cross-platform reliability without risking data corruption.
