What is ServerCrate?
ServerCrate is a privacy-first, zero-knowledge offsite backup service built for developers, sysadmins, and homelab users.
It provides secure storage for Restic repositories over SFTP, allowing you to back up servers, virtual machines, and personal infrastructure without relying on Big Tech storage providers.
All data is encrypted on your machine before upload, meaning ServerCrate cannot access, read, or recover your files. You maintain full control of your encryption keys at all times.
ServerCrate is designed for real-world failure scenarios, including ransomware, disk failure, and full network compromise. Backups are stored offsite and isolated from your primary infrastructure.
Key features include:
• Native Restic compatibility (no proprietary tooling) • SFTP access for simple and universal integration • Zero-knowledge encryption (client-side encryption only) • Fixed pricing with no egress fees • Private vault isolation per user • Designed for servers, Proxmox, Docker, and homelabs
ServerCrate sits between simple managed backup tools and raw storage providers, offering a balance of control, security, and usability without vendor lock-in.
ServerCrate is built for users who want the reliability of traditional backup providers without sacrificing control, privacy, or simplicity.
It is particularly suited for homelabs, Proxmox environments, Docker workloads, and production servers that require secure offsite backups without vendor lock-in.
