ServerCrate

0 reviews

ServerCrate is privacy-first, zero-knowledge offsite backup hosting purpose-built for Restic over SFTP. Designed for sysadmins, DevOps teams, developers, and infrastructure operators who need encrypted offsite backup without sacrificing control or trusting third parties with plaintext data. Repositories are end-to-end encrypted on the client before upload using AES-256 — repository passwords never reach ServerCrate's infrastructure by design. Each customer's data lives in an isolated ZFS dataset on dedicated hardware (no shared S3 buckets), with daily replication to a separate NVMe pool for redundancy. Key differentiators: • Native Restic compatibility — no proprietary tooling, full repository portability • Per-user ZFS vault isolation on dedicated infrastructure • SFTP protocol — universal, scriptable, integrates with any backup workflow • Flat pricing, no egress fees, no bandwidth caps • Bitcoin payment via self-hosted BTCPay for privacy-conscious billing • TOTP 2FA, audit logs, signed warrant canary • Public infrastructure transparency via status.servercrate.net Free tier (10GB) with no credit card required. Paid plans from $5/mo (Starter) to $79/mo (Business, 5TB, 15 devices, 180-day retention).
