Your host can wipe you. A node can die. An admin can nuke the world. When it happens, "we have backups" only means something if those backups live somewhere your host cannot touch. That is what this is.
I run ServerCrate, encrypted offsite backup storage built on restic. You back up your server to a vault that lives in a completely separate failure domain from your host, encrypted on your machine before it ever leaves it. If your provider loses your data, mine still has it.

What you get
  • An encrypted offsite vault for your server data: worlds, configs, plugins, databases, whatever you point at it
  • Zero-knowledge. Your data is encrypted client-side with a password only you hold. I cannot read your files. Not "won't," cannot. If I got subpoenaed or the box got seized, all anyone gets is noise.
  • No lock-in. It is standard restic over HTTPS. restic is open-source, so you can restore from any machine on earth, with or without me.
  • No egress fees. Restore as much as you want, as often as you want, free.
  • A continuous external verifier restores one of my backups every 15 minutes and alerts me the second a restore fails. Proof, not promises: https://status.servercrate.net
Setup is ~5 minutes if you can open a terminal. Sign up, reveal your vault token, paste two commands, run restic backup. The portal has copy-paste quick-start for Linux, Windows, and macOS. There is no GUI, this is restic on the command line, so you do need shell access to your box.

Being straight with you, because backups are trust: ServerCrate is a lean, single-location operation in Los Angeles. I do not sell an uptime SLA, and I would not believe anyone our size who did. This is built to be your encrypted offsite copy, the second leg of a real 3-2-1 backup, not your only copy. Because it is standard restic, your data is never trapped here. That is the honest pitch, and the honesty is the point.
