Archivst Cloud
Offline-first backups that keep every version safe until you are ready to bring it back online.
Built for Just-In-Case
Archivst has been designed to be a just in case backup cloud service, without the high monthly prices and extra tools to save what you'd like'.
- Immutable backups that resist ransomware and accidental overwrites.
- Automatic versioning so last months’s edit is always recoverable.
- Transparent, pay-as-you-need pricing that keeps budgets manageable.
Local-First, Offline-Second
Archivst gives you the tools to easily backup to another drive or a FTP server then a cloud backup would be the just-in-case option. Cloud backup is the easiest way to give you that peace of mind just in case.
Restores take time to get that data back to you as the data is not connected — that’s how costs are kept low. Archivst Cloud works best as your 2nd line of backup while a fast local backup can handle normal situations.
