Storage you can point anything at

A storage box is plain, large, inexpensive disk space. It speaks the protocols your tools already use — FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, SMB/CIFS, WebDAV, Rsync and Borg — so you can back a server up with the scripts you already have, mount it on a desktop, or sync it from a NAS.

Data sits on RAID-protected disks with checksum verification, and you can take snapshots manually or on a schedule to roll back a bad sync.

The 3-2-1 rule, cheaply

The rule of thumb for backups is three copies, on two kinds of media, one of them off-site. A storage box is the cheapest way to hold that off-site copy.

  • Server backups from cPanel, JetBackup or your own cron job
  • Agency archives of finished client projects
  • A second copy of a NAS for a small office

Give each client or team member one of the 100 sub-accounts, each with its own folder, so nobody can see or overwrite anyone else’s data.

What a storage box gives you

  • RAID protection

    Redundant disks with checksum verification, so bit rot is caught.

  • Snapshots

    Manual or scheduled snapshots make a bad sync recoverable.

  • 100 sub-accounts

    Separate logins and folders for clients or team members.

  • Fast transfers

    High-speed transfer inside the network, with unmetered traffic.

Cloud Storage Boxes: frequently asked questions

What can I use a storage box for?

Server and website backups, project archives, an off-site copy of a NAS, or any large files you do not need on fast hosting storage.

Which protocols are supported?

FTP, FTPS, SFTP, SCP, SMB/CIFS, WebDAV, Rsync and Borg — so most backup tools work without modification.

Is my data backed up?

Storage is RAID protected with checksum verification, and you can take snapshots. A storage box is itself a backup target, so keep your primary copy elsewhere.

Can I give clients their own access?

Yes, up to 100 sub-accounts, each with its own login and folder.

Is traffic metered?

No. Transfer to and from your storage box is unmetered.
