Built for reliability

Everything you need for file backups

Designed to be set up once and forgotten. Reliable, efficient, and always there when you need it.

Incremental backups

Only changed blocks are transferred and stored. Reduces bandwidth, storage costs, and backup time significantly.

Runs anywhere

A single lightweight binary that handles millions of files without slowing your server down. Works on any Linux server, NAS, or web hosting.

Secure by design

No inbound connections, no privileged access, no SSH required. Your data is encrypted client-side with AES-256 before it ever leaves your server.

Fine-grain restore

Browse any snapshot like a live filesystem.

Click through folders from any point in time, preview a file, and restore just that one. No unarchiving a 40 GB tarball to pull a single config back.

  • Any snapshot — last hour, last week, last year
  • File tree UI, no shell access required
  • Restore one file or a whole directory
