BackupBastion

Versioned backups to your own disks, with restores you have actually tested.

What it is

BackupBastion in a paragraph

BackupBastion backs up files and whole drives to disks, USB drives and network shares, keeping versions so a file you overwrote last month is still there. It can image the entire system for a bare-metal restore, verifies every backup, and runs restore drills so you find out that a backup works before you need it.

Planned for the first release

  • File history with versions, to local, external and network drives
  • Full system image and bare-metal restore from bootable media
  • Verification after every backup; scheduled restore drills
  • Deduplicated, encrypted backup sets
  • Plain report: what was backed up, what was skipped and why
  • No cloud subscription; your disks, your data

This page describes what we intend to build. There is nothing to download yet, and we do not take pre-orders. When BackupBastion is ready it will be listed as available on the products page. Have a job in mind for it? Tell us through the feedback form.
