Free backup · 2 GiB · no FREE subscription

Pay only if you ever need your files restored.

With FREE, backup costs nothing. Files are encrypted on your computer, and the everyday credentials have no permission to delete the archive. If you never request assisted recovery, you pay nothing.

Before accepting assisted recovery, you see the total quote, what it includes and the applicable terms. No automatic charge.

Three steps. No magic.

RansomBackup uses Restic behind a least-privilege gateway. It is an additional copy designed to reduce the risk that credentials on a compromised PC could delete or download the archive; it does not replace the other copies in a sound backup strategy.

Protect one or more folders and change the list later.

02 · KEEP

Store it offline. If it is lost, nobody — including us — can recover the data.

03 · VERIFY

Review snapshots

Your dashboard lists available backups; restoring requires temporary authorization.

Real least privilege.

The daily token can create backups and read required indexes, but cannot delete or download data packs. A temporary RESTORE token allows recovery only when needed.

BACKUP

No DELETE permission

Upload allowed. DELETE denied. GET /data/* denied.

RESTORE

Reads for recovery

Separate, revocable and issued for an approved restore request.

ACCOUNT

Central switch

When an account is inactive, the gateway denies every operation.

FREE backup costs nothing.

You get 2 GiB of physical repository storage plus about 200 MiB technical tolerance. Optional assisted recovery is a separate paid service: before accepting it, your account shows the total price, what the service includes and the applicable terms.

  1. Download and extract all files.
  2. Open the extracted folder and double-click Installa.cmd.
  3. Enter your email, choose folders, then print or save the recovery-key sheet. If you stop at this stage, reopen the app to finish without creating a new account.
Automatic backups: the first starts immediately, then one runs daily at 18:00. If the PC is off or asleep, the run is recovered at the next sign-in; the PC is not woken automatically. The client only flags important releases or required updates and never installs them automatically.

Quick answers.

The key facts before storing a copy of your data.

How much does it cost?

FREE backup costs nothing up to 2 GiB. Optional assisted recovery is paid: before accepting, your account shows a quote with the total price, service contents and terms. There are no automatic charges.

Can RansomBackup read my files?

No. Restic encrypts content, names and metadata locally. We do not receive the private password.

Can I protect multiple folders?

Yes. Use “Manage folders” on Windows, or configure paths in the Linux client.

Why no server-side pruning?

Restic needs the private password to interpret indexes. The server does not have it, and FREE clients cannot delete data.
