Core functionality works, but the project is still evolving and some features may be incomplete or change as development continues. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. FossilSafe is an open-source tool for managing LTO tape backups with a focus on simple, reliable archival workflows. It is designed for homelabs, studios, and small organizations that need a practical way to back up essential data securely to tape. Unlike traditional backup suites, FossilSafe focuses on simple, transparent tape workflows built around LTFS and standard Linux tools. Why FossilSafe Exists FossilSafe was built to bring the reliability of tape storage formats like LTFS to users who do not require the overhead of legacy enterprise suites. It provides a straightforward appliance experience—managing jobs, formatting media, streaming parallel writes, and maintaining long-term hardware-independent archives from a single host. ⭐ Key Features - 🔒 Catalog-Independent Disaster Recovery : Tapes are self-describing and cryptographically signed (Ed25519) with an embedded JSON catalog. You can reconstruct your database and recover your data even if the FossilSafe appliance is lost. - 💾 Multi-Source Backup : Backup from SMB/CIFS, NFS, Local, SFTP/SSH, and S3-compatible sources directly to LTO tape. - 🛡️ Hardware-Independent Encryption : AES-256 encryption via GPG, ensuring you can read your tapes on any Debian 12 syst","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/NotARaptor","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/NotARaptor/FOSSILSAFE/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
