FAQ

Self-hosted backup. Clear scope.

What IT and MSP buyers ask before they install rubixd.

What is Rubix Backup?

A self-hosted backup platform: Linux rubixd plus outbound Windows and Linux agents. Block-efficient chunk backup into AES-256-GCM encrypted safes, with optional E2E mode so the server does not hold plaintext or keys.

Is this Rubix-hosted SaaS backup?

No. You run rubixd on infrastructure you control. Agents dial out to your server.

What do Windows and Linux agents back up?

Windows: VSS volumes. Linux: file trees. Schedules, GFS, GC, and verify are part of the product scope.

Can the backup server read my data?

In E2E mode, no — rubixd holds ciphertext without the keys. Without E2E, encrypted-at-rest safes still protect disks; key custody follows your deployment choices. Read /security for the model.

Where is pricing?

Soft pricing on this site — no invented list prices. No list prices on this page until Hub plans ship. Prefer /get-started or contact sales.

How do downloads work?

Public Hub channels for stable rubixd and agents when entitled. Prefer request access during interest phase if you need evaluation guidance.
