Every backup, every resource, one view.

The resilience control plane
you actually own.
One console for every zone, cloud, and security level, including air-gapped networks. Self-hosted in your environment, zero-knowledge, no appliance lock-in.
Plakar Control Plane
The problem
Backing up one system is solved. Orchestrating the resilience of the entire estate is the hard part.
Plakar protects any single source. The Control Plane is what makes resilience provable, consistent, and governable across all of them.
No single view of the estate
Every host, team, and cloud runs its own backups. Nothing shows what is protected and what is not, so coverage gaps surface only during an incident.
Policy that does not scale by hand
Retention, schedules, and encryption set resource by resource drift the moment the estate grows to hundreds of sources across clouds and clusters.
Keys and credentials sprawl
Encryption keys and storage credentials end up scattered across scripts, hosts, and CI, with no central, audited place to manage them.
How it works
The Control Plane orchestrates. Your Edges do the work.

Management
Policies, scheduling, posture, inventory and permissions. Self-hosted, it orchestrates the estate and hands secrets to Edges only for the duration of a task.

+ Edge
Each Edge sits close to the sources it protects (filesystems, databases, VMs, Kubernetes, SaaS, cloud), then chunks, deduplicates and encrypts at the source. Add Edges across zones and regions to scale horizontally at low cost.
encrypted snapshots
Kloset, on your storage
Zero plaintext
Deduplicated, compressed, tamper-evident snapshots on the storage you choose. Your data never routes through Plakar.
Use cases
Beyond backup jobs.
Teams reach for the Control Plane to solve problems a backup tool alone cannot.
Ransomware recovery
Encrypted, tamper-evident snapshots the attacker cannot read or alter, plus an off-site copy kept out of reach, so you restore clean data on your terms.
Learn moreResilience as Code
Each team protects its data with its own tools. Declare stores, sources, and schedules with the Kubernetes operator, Terraform, Ansible, or the API, versioned in Git.
Learn moreStrategic autonomy
Reclaim control of data hosted by any provider. Keep an encrypted copy outside production, independent of the host, with stronger security, lower cost, and no lock-in.
Learn morePosture management
A 360 view of what must be protected across clouds and on-prem. Verify coverage against SLAs, surface unprotected resources, and let policies cover new ones automatically.

Learn moreRun it anywhere
Cloud, your hypervisor, or air-gapped edge.
Learn moreMulti-tenant by design
Backup as a service, for every team, subsidiary, or client.
Organizations nest to any depth. Each one gets its own stores, users, and roles, and self-serves within the quota its parent sets.
Isolated organizations
Objects are isolated per organization, in a hierarchy as deep as your company or client base.
Quotas you can bill
Meter storage and data processed each month, with warning thresholds and hard limits.
Granular roles
Grant each team exactly what it needs, from Owner to Auditor, with two-factor authentication you can enforce.
Shared Edges and defaults
Share Edges with child organizations, and set defaults once with configuration bundles.
Who it's for
Run it, consume it, or deliver it.
Platform teams run resilience as an internal service, application teams consume it on their own, and agencies deliver it to every client.
A new mandate: guarantee the company is protected
Stop running everyone else's backups. Own the coverage rate and the quality of the service, not the day-to-day jobs.
A clear view of what is protected, self-service
See exactly what is covered on every app, then back up and restore on your own, with no real operational overhead because Plakar plugs into your existing tools.
The resilience layer you run for every client
Plakar is a natural fit for agencies: protect many clients from one place, each fully isolated, on the storage and tools you already manage, and bill it back.
“We manage everything as code, with AI across our development workflow, so we wanted resilience orchestrated the same way, on our own schedule. Plakar’s deduplication lets us take as many snapshots as we want without the storage bill climbing, and running on infrastructure and software we control has unlocked a full compliance track for us with French providers.”

Resilience as Code, because backup should be Infrastructure.
Backup is the last layer of your stack still clicked into a console. The Plakar Kubernetes Operator makes it code: declare resilience as Custom Resources, reconciled from Git, for everything you run.
