We build features and architecture our systems in a security-first manner.
Secure Connection Options
Backups are streamed to your server over SSH, with scripts executed directly on your side. No installation required—just whitelist SimpleBackups’ IPs to enable secure access and start protecting your data right away.
Install the Agent once and backups run fully from your server, without SimpleBackups needing access. Works seamlessly behind firewalls and NAT gateways, with no open ports or IP allowlists required—ideal for dev, staging, and production environments.
Your Backup configurations
Depending on backup types, SimpleBackups will require you to input different kinds of credentials in order to be able to run your backup.Backup data access
During the backup process NO DATA is transiting via SimpleBackups infrastructure. Meaning that your data is directly sent to the storage you've configured, without any intermediary.Encryption in transit
We use encryption at rest and in transit for all your backups. This means that you can configure your backups to be encrypted using your own private key but also that all the data transiting between SimpleBackups and your storage is encrypted using AES256.Encryption on storage
Your backup can be stored on any connected Storage Provider and you can define an encryption key generated on your end, unique to you, that will be used to encrypt your backup archive before the transit.ISO 27001 Requirements
