all/backed.
$ allbacked --encrypt --dedupe --verify
Backups straight from your browser: all/backed saves your files to external drives, encrypted and versioned — and in the Pro version it backs up entire systems, cloud storage included. Available as an extension for Chrome and Firefox.
In development
all/backed is deep in development; what it will do and what it will cost is already settled. The beta launch will be announced right here — and if you'd like in early, just drop us a line.
Isn't a ZIP good enough?
// backup != copy
Fair question: zipping a folder and dragging it onto an external drive works without any tool. The difference only shows the moment you need something back — and that moment is exactly what a backup is for.
// To be fair: a manual copy beats no backup at all. all/backed just turns the same effort into one you can rely on.
Why the browser, of all places?
// no installer, no admin rights, no blind trust
Nothing to install
Extension from the store, done — no installer, no admin rights. That means all/backed also runs on managed work machines and on ChromeOS, where classic backup software never even starts.
The sandbox works for you
Classic backup tools demand full-disk access. all/backed sees exactly the folders you grant it — not one more. That's enforced by the browser's permission model, not merely by our promise.
One engine, one open format
The extension and the companion app (Pro) write the same documented repository format. Free backups stay valid when you upgrade — and your data is never stuck in a proprietary container.
An honest division of labor
No browser can — or should — back up system files and bootable clones, and we don't claim otherwise. That's what the Pro companion app is for: it handles the system level, controlled from the same interface.
Features
// planned for version 1.0
Backup in the browser
Pick a folder, pick a destination, back up: spontaneous local backups to external drives straight from the extension — no desktop install, no account.
Zero-knowledge encryption
AES-256, encrypted on your device before a single byte leaves it. The keys stay with you — the same principle as our secrets tool.
Versioning & deduplication
Incremental backups with block-based deduplication: every snapshot stays restorable without your storage footprint exploding.
Schedules & automation
Hourly, daily, or whenever the drive is plugged in: Pro backups run automatically on schedule — with a notification if something goes wrong.
Verified restores
A backup only counts once the restore works: integrity checks after every run and file-level recovery from any version.
SafetyNet for system clones
Full system backups (Pro) never overwrite anything irrecoverably: changed and deleted files are moved to a SafetyNet folder first.
