Ask Rubix Backup a question. Answers come from this site's docs only. I will cite a page. I will not invent a product claim.
vs R1Soft
R1Soft alternative — scoped self-hosted backup
Self-hosted chunk backup with keys you hold. Honest wedge: you host rubixd, agents dial out, safes are AES-256-GCM with optional E2E. Not a claim of full suite replacement.
Who hosts the backup server
Rubix Backup is software you run. Linux rubixd on your host. There is no Rubix-hosted SaaS backup path presented as the product.
Keys and ciphertext
Encrypted-at-rest safes. E2E mode so the server does not hold plaintext or decryption keys. That is the confidentiality wedge — not a checklist race against R1Soft.
What we do not claim
Feature parity with R1Soft. Microsoft 365 backup. Linux LVM block-volume backup. Complete peer replication. Certification badges we have not earned on this page.
What ships
Outbound Windows (VSS) and Linux (file tree) agents, chunk backup, GFS retention, GC, verify, schedules, Hub online updates.
