Start

tar is a widespread archiving format with optionall compression, mostly found in UNIX systems.

TAR Integration

Overview

The TAR integration allows to import data into a Kloset from a tarball. This integration is bundled since Plakar v1.0.3.

Configuration

The TAR integration does not require any special configuration.

Example Usage

To backup a tar gzip’d file into the kloset at /var/backups run:

1$ plakar at /var/backups backup tgz:foobar.tar.gz

In case of a plain, non compressed tarball, please use instead:

1$ plakar at /var/backups backup tar:foobar.tar

See the QuickStart guide for more examples.

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."
