Backup Repository’s documentation

A specialized ninja for backup making - complete backups ecosystem. Fully multi-tenant, with its very granular permissions and client-side (E2E) encryption can act as a farm of backups for various people and organizations.

Main functionality:

• Fully multi-tenant, granular permissions and roles

• End-To-End encryption. Server acts as a blob storage, client is encrypting client-side

• Security focused, limit access by IP address, User Agent, limited scope API tokens. In future we may implement “scheduled backup windows” to prevent overwriting backups in short time periods

• Backups rotation strategies

• Very low resources requirements, a container with 256 MB ram and 0.5vCPU on a shared VM can fit

• Fully compatible with containerized workflows (Docker supported out-of-the-box by both client and server)

• Administrative frontend in web browser

• JSON API, JSON Web Token (JWT), SWAGGER documentation for the API

• On client side the backups are made on-the-fly, you don’t need extra disk space for temporary storage
