Host Borg and Restic backup repositories with append-only protection, monitoring, and alerts. Starts at 10 GB free, with EU or US datacenter choice.
BorgBase is a Maltese-registered backup hosting service built specifically for Borg and Restic, the two most widely used deduplicated, encrypted backup tools for Linux and macOS. Backups are encrypted client-side before any data leaves your machine, and append-only mode prevents any process (including ransomware) from modifying or deleting existing archives.
Each repository gets continuous monitoring: if a backup hasn't run within the configured window, BorgBase triggers alerts via email, Pushover, or webhook. A clean REST API automates repository provisioning for infrastructure-as-code workflows. Native support for Borgmatic, Vorta, and Pika Backup integrates the broader ecosystem without glue code.
Key benefits:
- Borg and Restic hosting for the two leading open-source deduplicated backup tools
- Client-side encryption so the server never has access to backup data
- Append-only mode to protect archives from ransomware or accidental deletion
- Backup monitoring with configurable alerts via email, Pushover, or webhooks
- Deduplication and compression to reduce storage footprint and transfer time
- REST API for automating repository creation and SSH key management
- 10 GB permanently free with no credit card required
- Choice of EU or US datacenter for latency and data residency requirements
BorgBase is operated by Peakford Ltd, headquartered in Naxxar, Malta, an EU member state. The service is fully GDPR-compliant, and customers using EU datacenter options keep all backup data within European jurisdiction. Technical support comes directly from active maintainers of the Borg ecosystem.
Ideal for system administrators, self-hosters, and developers who need reliable encrypted offsite backups with transparent pricing and no proprietary lock-in.

S3-compatible object storage in Swedish datacentres at a flat per-terabyte price, with unlimited traffic, no API charges, versioning and Veeam support.
Bahnhof S3 is S3-compatible object storage run entirely from Swedish datacentres by one of Sweden's best-known internet providers. Pricing is refreshingly flat: a single per-terabyte rate with unlimited traffic and no API costs, so egress and request bills never creep up on you.
The service speaks the industry-standard S3 API, which means existing backup software, SDKs and command-line tools work without code changes. Data is organised into buckets with unlimited storage and objects up to 5 TB each, and versioning plus built-in redundancy protect against accidental deletion. Enterprise backup suites such as Veeam, Commvault and Cohesity are supported as targets.
Key benefits:
- Flat per-terabyte pricing at 20 EUR per TB, with a 10 TB minimum
- Unlimited traffic with no egress fees when you read data back
- No API charges on storage requests
- Standard S3 API compatible with existing tools and SDKs
- Versioning and redundancy guarding against data loss
- Granular access control and secure sharing of stored data
- Backup integrations with Veeam, Commvault and Cohesity
Bahnhof AB is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and has run internet and datacentre services since 1994 while campaigning against mass surveillance for decades. The S3 service is ISO 27001 certified and keeps data in Swedish datacentres under Swedish and EU jurisdiction and the GDPR, outside the reach of US cloud providers.
Ideal for companies moving backups and archives off Amazon S3 or other hyperscalers that want predictable storage bills and data kept in Sweden.
