Plakar is an open-source backup and restore solution designed to simplify data protection for businesses of all sizes. It protects anything—from local files to multi-cloud AI pipelines—while keeping every snapshot lean, encrypted, and instantly recoverable.
I am impressed by your presentation video, but please make the font darker, sometimes it blends with your background and it is not clear what and how. This sounds like a powerful solution for data integrity and backup management! I’m curious, how does Plakar handle incremental backups and ensure efficiency in large-scale environments with high-frequency data changes? Would love to know more about how it scales with big data workloads.
Congrats for the launch team Plakar! So many lines of code and hard work went into this so it's amazing to see it live.
Just implemented Plakar for our company's backup needs and I'm thoroughly impressed! As someone who's dealt with various backup solutions, both proprietary and open-source, this is refreshingly straightforward while being incredibly powerful.
What sets Plakar apart is its versatility - we're using it to backup everything from local development environments to our cloud-based AI training pipelines. The snapshot system is brilliantly designed; it's lean and efficient while ensuring nothing important gets left behind. Really appreciate how it handles incremental backups to minimize storage usage.
The encryption implementation is rock-solid, which was a major requirement for us. Being open-source means we could audit the security ourselves, and the code quality is excellent. The instant recovery feature has already saved us once when we needed to rollback some production data - it was seamless.
congrats team! does Plakar support incremental backups and deduplication to optimize storage usage?
Plakar looks like a powerful solution for modern data protection. We’ve just launched Mukh.1 – AI agents to automate everyday work. Feel free to check it out!
Wow ! Great idea to release a new opensource backup solution! To be tested soon
Plakar delivers effortless encrypted backups in an open-source package – love that transparency. Gave my support. Congrats on launch – I'm launching my product too, feel free to check it out.
Congratulations!
As you said, I hope I can sleep soundly with plakar.
Good luck :)
Plakar looks like a robust and user-friendly backup solution! The open-source approach and focus on encryption are impressive. Excited to see how this evolves!
This looks like a much-needed solution in today’s data-heavy world. Congrats on the launch! Is Plakar designed more for active backups of running systems or is it better suited for scheduled snapshot-style backups?
disclaimer: I'm working for Plakar but I also use it for other projects in production
I’ve been using Plakar for a bit now. Before that, I had this whole setup with custom scripts to grab database dumps and sync my S3 buckets from my main provider to an external one. It worked… but it always felt a bit fragile, and I never fully trusted it.
With Plakar, things just work. I can search through my backups, preview files, and see the full history of everything stored in S3.
Backups aren’t something I have to worry about anymore — and that’s such a relief.
I had a lot of problems with backups. Plakar could have been a really good alternative and less painful than other technologies. I'll definitely try it in future projects !
Congrat's guys !
Plakar sounds like the straightforward, open-source backup solution that finally gives me peace of mind knowing my data is protected and easily recoverable.
Awesome to see months of hard work come to fruition with the first stable release of this open-source backup & restore platform, purpose-built for modern AI and cloud-native workloads.
I’m especially excited about Kloset, Plakar’s core engine, which does for data what Docker did for compute — making backups portable, verifiable, and instantly reusable across environments!
