@openstack.org backup is now free in @plakar.bsky.social Community (OSS). Take a Glance. 🔭 Why not just keep snapshots? A snapshot lives in the same Cinder backend as the volume it protects. If that backend has a bad day, you lose both. Read the announcement post: lnkd.in/gZS9zhgs

The Plakar team (and Nestor hiding in the picture below) is coming to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City, Nov 9 to 12. Who is coming / who should we meet ?

Can't lose data if you never stop backing up. Nestor rolls safe. Yes this is a sticker. Check out the full collection: https://plakar.link/goodies

Your MongoDB replica set is not a backup. A bad drop or updateMany reaches every replica in milliseconds. The mistake is everywhere, instantly. A replica is a copy of now. A backup is a copy of before. Plakar now backs up MongoDB, open source: plakar pkg add mongodb https://plakar.link/mongodb

Big news: You can now back up VMware for free with Plakar OSS

Le futur de la #sauvegarde sort du projet #Plakar et fait l'objet d'un article dans notre dernier numéro : connect.ed-diamond.com/linux-pratiq.... Retrouvez-le en kiosque & sur boutique.ed-diamond.com/nouveautes/1... (ports offerts).

Backups are not optional. Change Nestor's mind. (You can't.) Yes this is a sticker. Check out the collection: https://plakar.link/goodies

A year ago, the South Korean government lost 850TB of data in a fire... learning the hard way you need backup is not fun! If your site burned tonight, what would you lose? Link to the article -> https://plakar.link/fire

At Open Source Summit Europe in Prague this week? Our own Julien Castets speaks Wednesday 15:35, Terrace 2 A: "Your Backup Data Doesn't Belong to You." Going to be there? Reply and say hi, and grab some Nestor stickers from us 🐿️ #OSSummit https://plakar.link/osseu

88 mph with no backup? Bold. Back up to the future. Check out the full sticker collection: https://plakar.link/goodies

Drone strikes knocked AWS data centers in Bahrain and the UAE offline. Data that lived only in the destroyed zone is gone. Most customers recovered by restoring backups kept elsewhere (AWS's words). A region is not a backup. Keep an independent, offsite copy. https://plakar.link/offsite

This summer, a hacker deleted Romania's entire land registry database after a failed extortion attempt, paralyzing the real-estate market. Luckily they had an offline copy... It's unclear how long it took them to restore though. Friendly reminder that backups are not a nice to have!

Red pill: broken production. Blue pill: a clean restore. Nestor already chose. What about you ? Check out our full sticker collection: https://plakar.link/goodies

Infrastructure went to code ten years ago. Backup never followed. We believe backup is the most important missing piece, so we're building Resilience as Code: managed from the same tools that run your platform, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible. https://plakar.link/rac

Docs Wayback Machine, built with Astro + Plakar 🕰️ Snapshots your docs into immutable, encrypted storage. Lazy-restores any version, diffs any two pages, syncs to R2, deploys on Fly.io. Write-up: https://plakar.link/wayback Demo: https://plakar.link/wayback-demo

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

Back-to-school checklist for grown-ups: ✏️ New pencils 🎒 Fresh backpacks 💾 Verified backups (actually test the restore) Protect your nuts. 🐿️

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

Many organizations that pay a ransomware demand never get their data back: broken decryptors, partial keys, attackers who vanish. The only reliable recovery is one you own: immutable, offline, versioned. What is the worst ransomware story you've seen?

We made the infrastructure resilient and forgot the data. 10 reasons to fix that: https://plakar.link/backup10

The cloud made it easy to forget one of the oldest rule in data protection: you need offsite backup. Here are 10 reasons why you should consider independent copies of your important data. https://plakar.link/backup10

It's so hot that "cold storage" stopped being a backup tier and became a personal goal. Nestor is one degree away from migrating himself to Glacier. Stay cool out there. ☀️❄️

Google Cloud accidentally deleted a $125B pension fund's entire account. It survived only because a second provider held a copy. Durable is not recoverable. Keep your own copy, restorable anywhere. Worst cloud provider story you've got? Comments below. plakar.link/pension

Excellent épisode du #Podcast « À la French » consacré aux backups et à l'outil open-source Plakar - avec Gilles Chehade @poolporg.bsky.social et Julien Mangeard @jmangeard.bsky.social, respectivement CTO et CEO de la société portant le projet #Audio 🎧️ podtail.com/podcast/a-la...

Awesome to see @docker.com featuring Plakar 😎 In case you missed it, Docker Captain @nickjanetakis.bsky.social published a great deep dive on backing up PostgreSQL in Docker so you can massively reduce storage costs along the way!

Plakar v1.1.3 is out. Stable and Fully backward compatible. It's also our largest release ever. Thread 🧵

"My backups are tested." Are they? "Replication is a backup." It isn't. "I'll notice if backups stop working." You won't. Falsehoods engineers believe about backup, worth reading before one becomes relevant. https://plakar.link/myths

Zero-trust isn't a claim you make. It's a property you verify. We commissioned an independent cryptographic audit of Plakar from JP Aumasson, shipped every recommended fix, and published the full report. No major issues found. https://plakar.link/audit

We rebuilt the Plakar UI in the open and documented every decision: pnpm + Turborepo, React, TypeScript, Zod, the full TanStack stack, React Aria, Storybook, and testing. A 14-part engineering series for anyone building a serious frontend. https://plakar.link/ui

Can you query PostgreSQL inside a backup without restoring first? We tried two paths: SQL over a filesystem view, and mounting a base backup as a qcow2 copy-on-write disk to query live. A snapshot you can inspect, not just hope restores. https://plakar.link/pgview

The 3-2-1 backup rule is 30 years old: 3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite. Most prod environments still violate it. It survives ransomware, cloud outages, and accidental deletes precisely because it assumes any one layer fails. Why it still holds: https://plakar.link/321

Proxmox backs up your VMs with vzdump, but those dumps sit on local storage, unencrypted and un-deduplicated. The Proxmox integration wraps vzdump and stores each backup as a Plakar snapshot: dedup, encryption, portable anywhere. https://plakar.link/proxmox

Managed Postgres backups you can't download aren't really yours. pg_dump + Plakar: portable, encrypted, deduplicated backups over a standard connection. No WAL or filesystem access needed. Restore anywhere with pg_restore. https://plakar.link/pgdump

In case you missed it, Plakar Control Plane is now on AWS Marketplace The off-AWS copy finally becomes affordable: source-side dedup + client-side encryption cut egress and off-site storage to a fraction of the bytes. https://www.plakar.io/posts/2026-07-10/plakar-control-plane-aws-marketplace/

Plakar Control Plane is now on AWS Marketplace. Deploy it in your own AWS account in a few clicks. Your data never leaves your environment. Agentless protection, free plan, no time limit. https://www.plakar.io/posts/2026-07-10/plakar-control-plane-aws-marketplace/

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.

Plakar : un outil Open Source de backup “snapshot-based” qui combine déduplication, compression et chiffrement pour sauvegarder de très grands jeux de données. 👉 Le projet : github.com/PlakarKor... 👉 En savoir plus : https://plakar.io/

Replication propagates state. Backup preserves history. They solve different problems — you need both. https://dub.sh/P8QX1c5

Sinon il y a aussi l'excellente solution française www.plakar.io qui est vraiment impressionnante en terme de performance et de portabilité (via leur 'kloset´).

S3 durability != backup. It doesn't protect against deletion, ransomware, or corrupt writes that replicate across your bucket. https://dub.sh/kb3cWai

Independent cryptographic audit of Plakar published. Sound design, clean recommendations, all fixes verified. Public report. https://dub.sh/6Fb3KHB
