BorgBase

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 repository hosting — the leading open-source deduplicated backup tools
• Client-side encryption — 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 — 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.
