What is Plakar?

Plakar is an open-source backup and restore platform designed for modern, hybrid environments. It supports encrypted, deduplicated, and instantly recoverable backups across file systems, object stores, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes.

Built for developers, ops teams, and AI practitioners, Plakar captures application data with context, making backups reproducible and portable. Its engine, Kloset, encapsulates data like containers do for compute — with structure, metadata, and end-to-end encryption.

With Plakar, you can:

  • Back up from any source: file systems, object stores, SaaS applications
  • Distribute backups using push, pull, or sync strategies
  • Apply the 3-2-1 backup rule across heterogeneous environments
  • Avoid production slowdowns with adaptive backup speeds
  • Run lock-free garbage collection in parallel with operations

And when it comes to restore:

  • Instantly mount large snapshots without full restoration
  • Restore a full snapshot or just selected files
  • Restore across storage types (e.g., from S3 to local disk)
  • Verify and browse backups without extracting them

Plakar is ideal for teams that value data integrity, versioning, and interoperability — whether for AI training, analytics, compliance, or disaster recovery.
