Automated. Encrypted. Secure.
BackUpScale is a secure, persistent, and simplified backup solution for organizations with a high need for data integrity. Your data is encrypted before it leaves your devices, stored append-only so ransomware can't touch it, and restorable with open-source tools whether or not we're around.
Why BackUpScale?
Backups that are secure by design, cheap to keep, and yours to restore.
Encrypted before it ever leaves your machine
Your data is encrypted on your own devices, with keys only you hold. Everything we store is ciphertext (data scrambled by encryption, unreadable without the key), so not even we can read your backups. There is no server-side decryption and no key escrow: nothing useful for an attacker to steal.
Ransomware-proof by design
Backups are append-only: your devices can add new snapshots, but nothing, not even a fully compromised device, can alter or delete the ones already stored. If ransomware strikes, your history is still intact and ready to restore from.
Smaller backups, by design
Deduplication means unchanged data is never stored twice, no matter how many snapshots reference it, and everything is compressed before upload. Keep months of history without your storage bill scaling with it, and move less data over constrained networks.
Pay for storage, not traffic
Backing up and restoring are free. You pay only for the space your deduplicated, compressed data actually occupies: no ingress fees, and no egress surprises at the moment you need a restore most.
One strategy for your whole fleet
Linux, macOS and Windows are all first-class citizens, from servers to laptops. Create as many independent repositories as you need: per server, per application, per client. Each one is isolated, with its own encryption, history and retention.
Open SaaS: open source, managed for you
BackUpScale is built from best-in-class open-source tools, Restic and Rclone, managed for you: hardened, maintained and monitored. Because backups live in Restic's standard format, you are never locked in: your data stays restorable with stock open-source tooling, with or without us.
Security, Built In
Security isn't a feature we added; it's the reason BackUpScale exists. A few of the ways that shows:
Keys, not passwords
Backup access is over SSH (Secure Shell, the encrypted protocol administrators use to log in to servers), with key authentication only; passwords don't exist here. Every connection is locked to a single forced command, so a session can push backup data and do nothing else.
History nothing can touch
Append-only storage is the default, and the switch for maintenance operations lives in our dashboard, not on the devices being backed up, which is exactly where an attacker would go looking for it.
Your own locked lane
Every customer gets their own storage credentials, scoped so they can only ever see their own data. Isolation is enforced by the storage layer itself, not by our code remembering to check.
A network that denies by default
Inside our platform, every workload starts with zero network access and gets only the specific connections it needs, and traffic between our servers is transparently encrypted. The environment where customer sessions run can reach exactly one internal service: the request log.
Verified, continuously
We don't just trust our configuration; we test our behaviour. Our automated suite runs real backups over real SSH and, just as importantly, proves that the paths which must fail actually do.
Built on open tools
The software that touches your data is open source and auditable, and your backups live in a standard open format you could restore without us. You don't have to take our word for how the important parts work.

How It Works
Register and connect
Create your account, add your SSH key, and install the client tools on the devices you want protected. The Getting Started guides walk you through every step.
Choose what and when
Pick the folders and databases to protect, and set your schedule in a friendly console; snapshots then run quietly in the background, no manual intervention required. Managing a fleet? Roll the same setup out to every machine with automation tools like Ansible.
Restore any version, any time
Browse your snapshot history and bring back exactly what you need, to wherever you need it.
Everything is covered, step by step, in our documentation.
Ready for the Day You Need It Back
Backups exist for the restore. Every snapshot you've ever pushed stays browsable: open the snapshot browser, pick a point in time, drill down to the file or folder you need, and restore it to wherever you want. Bring back one file from last Tuesday, or a whole server from last month.
- Restore to whichever device you choose
- Open Restic format: restorable with stock open-source tools even without us
- Rehearsed continuously: our automated test suite performs real restores against the live service
