Zedlin

Backups

Backups you can see, and restore in a minute.

Choose folders, a schedule and where they go. Zedlin runs restic on your Linux servers over SSH, tells you when a backup is late, and lets you browse any snapshot and pull a single file back.

Zedlin Backups page listing backup policies, repositories and schedules

Set it up

One policy, many servers.

Your storage

S3-compatible, Backblaze B2, REST server, SFTP, a path on the host, or anything rclone can reach: Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV.

Scope by tag

Apply a policy to all servers, a tag or chosen ones. New servers with the tag are covered.

Any schedule

From every minute to once a day, with a start time and your time zone.

Retention

Keep the last N, plus hourly, daily, weekly and monthly snapshots. Restic only stores repeated data once.

Excludes

Leave out what you don't need with restic patterns.

Encrypted

Restic encrypts everything. Zedlin generates the repository password, or you bring an existing repository.

Run and restore

Built not to surprise you.

Nothing left on the host

Only the restic binary. No timers, services or config files. Passwords are passed over stdin and never touch the disk.

Survives a dropped connection

A backup keeps running on the host if SSH drops, and Zedlin picks it back up.

Straight to storage

Data goes from the host to your repository, not through Zedlin.

Browse and download

Walk through any snapshot, and download a file or a folder.

Restore

Put chosen files back where they were or into another folder, and choose whether to overwrite. From the desktop app.

Late backup alerts

An alert when the last good snapshot is too old, or a repository check fails. Maintenance runs weekly.

Stop hoping your backups work.

Backups run on a Zedlin server you host yourself, for your Linux servers.
