We spent a decade turning infrastructure into code. Backup never got the memo: still an agent on every host, still a vendor holding your keys. Today we start fixing that for Windows. Free, agentless VSS + SQL Server backup is now available on Plakar. https://plakar.link/windows

Today we're announcing a partnership with OVHcloud: Plakar brings native backup to OVHcloud Public Cloud. Every backup stays portable, you can restore it anywhere (even outside OVHcloud), and only you hold the keys. Same boat now. 🧡 Read the press release -> https://plakar.link/ovh

Everyone in backup brags about dedup ratios. The real game is content-defined chunking, and Gilles, our CTO, explains it all on linux dot com. He's from Nantes: centuries of kouign-amann teach you a thing or two about density. www.linux.com/contributed/...

Edit one line in a 40 GB file, and your backup re-uploads nearly all of it. Nothing dedupes with Fixed-size chunking. Content-defined chunking sets boundaries by content so you store only what changed. Practical guide from our CTO @poolporg.bsky.social https://plakar.link/cdc

Update homelab : j'ai enfin des vrais backups sur mes containers Proxmox 🙌 Testé Plakar, ça marche nickel, tout est chiffré et part sur mon NAS chaque nuit automatiquement. Et un bot me prévient sur Discord si ça foire. Next step : un backup offsite en plus.

In case you missed it, Plakar joined the Linux Foundation and CNCF. Open Standard for Resilience, open governance. https://dub.sh/y48nvlB

C'était intéressant vos réponses, et la "vraie" réponse était une longue attente d'I/O sur le réseau, comme peut l'illustrer mieux l'outil nmon ! Mais vous ne pouviez pas forcément le deviner. C'est un effet un backup avec plakar sur le réseau où celui-ci est un peu lent :)

Le load average de ma machine est très élevé. Pourtant, la RAM, le CPU, le disque et le réseau ne snt pas saturés. Selon vous pourquoi ? On va voir les bons en Linux :-)

Plakar | Plakar v1.1.0-beta: the foundation for what’s next

Enterprise ready backups with developer friendly tooling. Encrypted, deduplicated snapshots, instant browsing and restore, and zero knowledge workflows across clouds and on-prem.

Et si moi aussi je partais à la découverte de Plakar ? Mais contrairement à mes confrères qui ont fait ça avec du Linux, j'ai envie de tester si ça pourra faire l'affaire pour mon Windows. Et pour couronner le tout, avec un backend S3 bien sûr ! RDV 21H sur www.twitch.tv/therealsebos...

True resilience relies on transparency. You cannot claim to secure critical infrastructure if the backup format remains a proprietary secret. Today, Plakar officially joins the Linux Foundation and the CNCF. 🚀

May your 2026 be fire-free. 🔥

I've been exploring Plakar, a backup solution, with a clean UI, the ability to browse your snapshots like a filesystem. I put together a short tutorial covering the basics and how to store your snapshots on Exoscale Object Storage. community.exoscale.com/tutorial/pla... @plakarkorp.bsky.social

Kloset: the immutable data store

On the surface, plakar may appear as just another backup tool: it takes data and safely stores it until restoration is needed—essentially, a sophisticated version of the cp command.
