Incremental backups that restore like a full backup

Incremental backups save time and space. Usually the bill comes at restore time, when a long chain of backups has to be put back together. Ours restore in one pass.

When you restore, you don't want to wait.

With a traditional incremental, restoring means taking the last full backup and applying every later one in turn. The longer the chain, the slower it gets and the more can go wrong.

Then again, sending gigabytes of images that never change every night wastes time, space and your client's server resources.

Every backup has the full list of its files.

  1. Only changed files

    The site compares the size and date of each file with the previous backup and sends only new or changed ones.

  2. A full index

    For every backup the platform builds an encrypted index saying where each file is, in that backup or an earlier one.

  3. One-pass restore

    To restore we read each part we need once. There's no chain to rebuild.

Frequently asked questions

If I delete the first backup, do the others still work?

Yes. The parts of the first backup that later ones need stay in storage, and are removed only when no backup uses them any more.

How does the site know what changed?

It keeps the list of paths, sizes and dates from the latest backups, without file contents, and compares it with the current files.
