Restic as a Service
Restic is a leading open-source backup tool known for its reliability and versatility. However, setting it up and managing it efficiently requires a deep understanding of cloud infrastructure and security. That’s where we come in. At BackUpScale, we are thrilled to offer the first hosted implementation of Restic, bringing you a service that the community has been eagerly anticipating. Our hosted solution promises convenience and dependability, allowing you to enjoy the full benefits of Restic without the hassle.
Why Choose BackUpScale?
We handle all the complexities of deploying a secure and cost-effective Restic environment. By letting us manage the infrastructure, storage and security logistics, you can focus on what really matters: safeguarding your data. Say goodbye to the headaches of setup and maintenance and hello to seamless, worry-free backups.
Security Features
We built BackUpScale with security-by-design principles from the ground up, ensuring security has been integral to the system from the very beginning.
- Secure shell (SSH)-only access: The de facto cryptographic standard for communicating over an unsecured network
- SSH Key Authentication: Only SSH keys are allowed; problematic password use is not permitted
- SSH Forced Commands: Automatically runs a specified command upon login; all others are implicitly denied
- Append-Only Snapshots: Unauthorized modifications to repositories (e.g. deletion of existing data) are blocked
- Controlled Write Operations: Oher than new snapshots, repository write access is forbidden, unless in maintenance mode (controlled from the dashboard)
- Zero-Trust Security Model: No entity inside or outside the network is trusted by default
- End-to-End Encryption: A core Restic feature so even we don’t have access to your data
What We Offer
- Automated Cloud Infrastructure: Fully managed and automated cloud setup
- Data Storage Management: Efficient and secure handling of your backup data
- User-Friendly Dashboard: Intuitive interface for easy account management
- Unlimited Repositories: Create as many repositories as you need
- Automated Device Configuration: Entire fleets of devices can be configured via Ansible or similar tools
- Manual Device Configuration Simplicity: User-friendly graphical (local) or text-based (remote) user interfaces (GUIs or TUIs)
- And…
Rclone Integration
We leverage Rclone for enhanced flexibility and efficiency. By incorporating Rclone, we can choose from a wide array of cloud storage providers, giving us the freedom to choose cost-effective and optimal storage. This approach not only reduces costs but also ensures compatibility beyond what Restic alone can offer. Rclone also provides bandwidth throttling and scheduling, which optimizes network usage and allows backups to occur even when networks are congested. This is particularly useful for environments with limited bandwidth, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted backup operations.
Open SaaS Solution
BackUpScale combines top-tier open-source tools into a comprehensive backup solution. As an open SaaS product (managed open-source software), we manage as much as we can for you. While you could set up everything yourself, our service streamlines the process, incorporating best practices to deliver a reliable and hassle-free experience.
If you’re looking for a hosted Restic solution, you’ve come to the right place.
