    Description : an intuitive, powerful, and scalable backup solution

    Plakar is a new solution for backups, written in Go. First official release in May 2025.

    Plakar goes beyond file-level backups. It captures application data with its full context.

    Data and context are stored using Kloset, an open-source, immutable data store that enables the implementation of advanced data protection scenarios.

    Plakar's main strengths:

    - Effortless: Easy to use, clean default.
    - Secure: Provide audited end-to-end encryption for data and metadata.
    - Reliable: Backups are stored in Kloset, an open-source immutable data store. - Vertically scalable: Backup and restore very large datasets with limited RAM usage.
    - Horizontally scalable: Support high concurrency and multiple backups type in a single Kloset.
    - Browsable: Browse, sort, search, and compare backups using the Plakar UI.
    - Fast: backup, check, sync and restore are operations are optimized for large-scale data.
    - Efficient: more restore points, less storage, thanks to Kloset's unmatched
    deduplication and compression.
    - Open Source and actively maintained: open source forever and now maintained by Plakar Korp

    Simplicity and efficiency are Plakar's main priorities.
