Protect your FTP servers

Backup from a remote FTP server, restore to a remote FTP server !

Start

A filesystem stores and organizes files on devices like hard drives or mounted NAS volumes.

FTP Integration

Overview

The FTP integration provides support for the legacy, though still around, FTP protocol.

It can either backup from a public FTP server or restore to an authentication-less FTP server, a local NAS for example.

Configuration

The FTP integration does not require any particular configuration.

Example Usage

To back up the path /pub/PlakarKorp from FTP server located at example.org, you can use the following command:

1$ plakar at /var/backups backup ftp://example.org/pub/PlakarKorp

To restore data to authentication-less FTP server located at example.org, use the following command:

1$ plakar at /var/backups restore -to ftp://example.org/pub/PlakarKorp fc1b1e94

See the QuickStart guide for more examples.

Q&A

Do you store file metadata?

The FTP integration cannot guarantee preservation of metadata, as each FTP server may expose more or less information, but will preserve all of the exposed metadata.

Security by design

Reduce your attack surface by keeping encryption keys out of storage. With true end-to-end encryption, your data is protected before it leaves the source and remains unreadable even to your storage provider.

  • End-to-end encryption with modern crypto (no compromise on "at-rest/in-transit")
  • Immutable snapshots with verifiable integrity
  • Tamper-proof metadata and audit logs
  • Zero-trust-friendly architecture
"You don’t have to trust your storage provider."
