Backuppowered by Kopia

Backup that lets you sleep soundly — on Swiss infrastructure. stepping stone offers encrypted backups using Kopia and S3 Object Storage: end-to-end encrypted, WORM-protected and geographically distributed across two Swiss data centres.

Kopia is a fast, open-source backup tool that creates encrypted snapshots of your files and directories and stores them securely via the S3 protocol. stepping stone operates the associated S3 object storage on Swiss infrastructure — geographically distributed across two data centres.

Backups are encrypted end-to-end before the data leaves your computer. WORM (Write Once, Read Many) policies and object locking protect against tampering, unauthorised deletion and ransomware. Thanks to differential transfer, only changed data is transferred, whilst deduplication and compression reduce storage usage and costs. Multiple computers can be backed up to the same storage location. Backup schedules are configured individually — daily, weekly, monthly — with automatic notifications in the event of failures. Kopia is available as a CLI tool and as a graphical application for Windows, macOS and Linux.

SMEs, IT administrators and tech-savvy users looking for a reliable, open-source backup solution who want to retain full control over their data — in Switzerland, encrypted, and without relying on proprietary cloud services. Ideal for businesses with strict data protection regulations or sector-specific compliance requirements.

Typical use cases: encrypted backup of files and directories to S3 Object Storage in Switzerland; ransomware protection through WORM policies and object locking; backing up multiple computers and devices to the same storage location; compliance-compliant data backup with geographically separate storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If required, for  example when you are away from the office with a notebook and have made  many changes to your data, then several manual backups on the same day are recommended.

Yes, you only have read access to your backup files. So neither you, nor  somebody else can inadvertently change or delete the data.
