The problem it solves

You know backups matter, but remembering to run them yourself is easy to forget. If your website or server crashes, you could lose files with no recent copy saved. Manually copying files to backup storage takes time you do not have.

Who it fits

Website owners and small teams who manage their own server or hosting environment.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system connects to your server folder
  2. It lists and downloads every file in that folder
  3. Each file is uploaded to your backup storage, keeping the same folder layout
  4. You end up with an up to date backup copy ready if something goes wrong
What you get

Files safely copied off your server

Your website files are automatically copied to secure cloud storage on a schedule, so a current backup is always ready if you need it.

What you get

A continuously updated backup copy of your server files stored safely off site.

What you need

An FTP or SFTP enabled server account and a MinIO or S3 compatible storage account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
