Only Backup the files that Matter
Native provider backups, often only offer whole server snapshots. Sometimes you don't need to store that much data. With SnapShooter File backups you can backup only the files you want, with easy file exclusions. Our default settings automatically ignore sensible files.

What gets installed on my server?
Currently, we need the following software installed:ssh, tar, zip, and gzip. We also use rclone but we use a binary that does not require installing by the end-user. If you want encryption support you need an update to date version of OpenSSL
How does SnapShooter make backups secure
Our commands are executed over the industry standard of OpenSSH, using bash commands, we don't require any sudo permissions to make a backup. We use 4096-bit secure ssh keys. We encrypt all keys and passwords, in our systems. You can also encrypt your files on the file before the data even leaves your server using public private key encryption.
We set up SnapShooter for our client’s production management system in a matter of minutes. After that, we have practically forgotten about it. It allows us to sleep well at night, knowing our client’s data is safe.
