Kopia – Backups with Direct Cloud Storage Integration

Fast, deduplicated backups – straight into your object storage.
With Kopia, we back up servers and directories using modern deduplication and encryption, with no detour through an additional backup server.

Kopia: Policy-Driven Backups

Open Source

Deduplicated, encrypted backups with centralized policy management and native integration with S3-compatible object storage.

  • Central policies for schedule, retention & exclusion rules
  • Native integration with S3-compatible object storage
  • Snapshot browser & web UI for recovery

Where we use Kopia

Kopia is especially well suited when backups should land directly in S3-compatible object storage – whether self-hosted with RustFS or with an external provider like Hetzner or AWS:

  • Servers and VMs whose backups should go directly to the cloud or your own object storage
  • Environments with multiple source systems managed centrally through policies
  • Setups where snapshots need to be quickly searchable and individually restorable

What we take care of for you

  • Setting up backup repos with a connection to object storage
  • Defining policies for schedule, retention, and exclusion rules
  • Encrypting data before transfer
  • Regular recovery tests
  • Access via web UI or CLI, depending on your team

Kopia or BorgBackup?

Both tools cover a similar need: deduplicated, encrypted backups outside of Kubernetes. BorgBackup is well established and works the classic way over SSH against a central repo, while Kopia brings native cloud storage integration and centralized policy management for multiple source systems. We're happy to advise on which fits your environment.

Backup & restore – thought through end to end

Kopia is part of our backup offering – alongside Velero for Kubernetes and BorgBackup for classic server setups.
