    As any other workload in Keepit all objects can be shared with colleagues to extend verification or allow for quick download for local processing.

Easy and smart search

Fast search

Fast federated search lets you search across all backup data so you can find what you need quickly.

Smart search

Controllable smart search allows partial or even misspelled search terms to provide results.

Deleted items view

If you’re not sure what was lost, activating the Deleted Items View takes the guesswork out of finding lost data. You can view all data that ever existed and was backed up on a tenant.

Streamline data governance

Audit Logs. Track any user activity inside the Keepit platform, allowing you to monitor, review, and investigate any potential breaches.

Job Monitor. Detect abnormalities in the job monitor and discover changes on a snapshot basis as well as the number of changes made.

Data Sovereignty. Keepit operates its own data centers in multiple regions globally, helping you meet sovereignty requirements.

The Right to be Forgotten. Stay fully compliant with GDPR by preventing data from being previewed, downloaded, and restored to your production database.

Security Controls. Manage who has access to data and what permissions they have with granular Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) and ensure strong authentication with MFA and SSO.

Dedicated independent cloud 

Most alternative cloud backup solutions store your backed-up data on the same public cloud infrastructure that hosts your primary data, which potentially exposes your company to several risks.

With Keepit, your company’s backup data is stored on an independent cloud infrastructure in two mirrored data centers in the data center region of your choice, ensuring data availability and sovereignty.

Building our own independent cloud allows Keepit to manage supply chain risks and provides tremendous control over costs, which enables us to offer unlimited hot storage and predictable “all-in” pricing.

Dedicated storage architecture

The Keepit infrastructure runs on software that was designed and built from the ground up by our team.

Blockchain-like Merkle tree structure

We created a uniquely powerful architecture that employs a blockchain-like Merkle tree structure that allows you to store data in an immutable format to prevent attackers from manipulating your backups so you can recover quickly with uncompromised backups.

"Incremental forever"

The architecture also employs an innovative “incremental forever” approach that delivers performance and cost benefits such as unlimited hot storage, no data tiering, unlimited archiving, and no snapshot expiration. These benefits would simply not be possible to provide general-purpose storage services.

Simple setup, low maintenance

Get started in few minutes

Get started and configure your first backup in just a few minutes. Once deployed, it is a set-and-forget backup solution that runs reliantly in the background, so you can focus on other tasks.

Intuitive user interface

The user interface is simple, intuitive, and easy to use. No training is needed, saving you time and skilled technical resources.

API-first

You can integrate Keepit with your existing systems thanks to our API-first approach.
