Most organizations believe they have backups — until they actually need them.
At LibreInfra, backup is treated as a discipline, not a tool. The goal is not to generate files quickly, but to ensure that data can be restored reliably, verifiably, and years after it was created.
Traditional backups often fail silently. They assume short retention periods, ignore metadata, rarely test restores, and collapse under ransomware or operator error. LibreInfra was designed to solve these exact failure modes.
Every backup we design is intentional. It knows what it protects, where it comes from, how long it must live, and under which conditions it may be deleted. This information is embedded directly into the system through metadata, manifests, and structured storage paths.
We prioritize immutability wherever possible. Backups are append-only, protected against modification, and isolated from the systems they protect. This drastically reduces the blast radius of incidents and makes recovery a controlled, predictable process.
Just as important, we do not trust backups blindly. Integrity checks, checksum verification, and automated restore tests are part of the system — not optional extras. A backup that has never been restored is only a hypothesis.
For long-term preservation, LibreInfra extends beyond disk-based backups. Cold archives, offline copies, and tape-based systems are used where appropriate, ensuring that critical data remains accessible even as software, hardware, and organizations change.
