Plakar - Effortless Open Source Backup

Screenshot of the repository

Backup solution with deduplication and encryption

2025 was just the warm-up !

Big news: Plakar is officially joining the Linux Foundation & CNCF! 🐿️

We are committing to build the Open Standard for Resilience. We believe the format protecting your data must be open, documented, and built to outlive the tools that created it.

I've been exploring Plakar, a backup solution, with a clean UI, the ability to browse your snapshots like a filesystem. I put together a short tutorial covering the basics and how to store your snapshots on Exoscale Object Storage. community.exoscale.com/tutorial/pla... @plakarkorp.bsky.social

May your 2026 be fire-free. 🔥

Thanks for the feedback! Thrilled to hear you find plakar great!

Roadmap/Feature Requests: The best place for feature requests (like "Add Backup" in the UI) is to open a new Issue on the plakar GitHub repository.

Good news: "Add Backup" in the UI is a planned feature for a future release!

Cheers!
