Backups are worthless if they can't be restored
You diligently back up your data. But when disaster strikes, will those backups actually work? Most businesses discover the answer too late.
Silent Failures
Backups fail silently. Corruption goes unnoticed. You find out when it's too late.
False Confidence
67% of businesses that test their backups find they cannot fully restore their data.
Costly Downtime
Every hour of downtime costs $100k-$5M. Untested backups mean unknown recovery time.
Manual Testing
Testing restores manually is time-consuming, often skipped, and prone to human error.

FAQs
Mission
Most backup tools stop at storing data — but a backup that can’t be restored is no backup at all. Too many teams only discover this when it’s already too late. Backura started with a simple idea: what if backups could prove themselves? What if you had a system that not only created backups, but continuously verified they could be restored — without locking you in?
We built Backura to give engineering teams confidence, compliance, and control. Backups run on your infrastructure, storage stays yours, and every restore is tested — so you know your data will be there when you need it most.
