Description
Backup services that lock you into a single cloud provider are a bad bet: if that provider raises prices, has an outage, or shuts down a product line, your backups go with it. Pluton is built around the opposite idea — back up to whatever mix of providers you choose, encrypted so only you can read it.
Pluton is a self-hosted, open-source backup solution built on the Restic backup engine, adding end-to-end encryption and compression on top. It supports over 70 cloud storage providers (S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, and more), making it straightforward to implement a proper 3-2-1 backup strategy across multiple providers rather than trusting one. It sends notifications through Slack, Discord, Email, or NTFY, runs with a minimal 50MB memory footprint suitable for resource-constrained devices like a Raspberry Pi, supports incremental backups to minimize storage costs, and can be deployed via Docker or as a standalone executable, with custom scripting for automation.
💬 Our review
The short version: Pluton is a well-built, free wrapper around Restic that makes multi-provider, encrypted backups much easier to set up and monitor than driving Restic by hand from the command line.
Against a commercial backup service like Backblaze's own client or Duplicati, Pluton's advantages are that it's fully free and open-source, supports 70+ storage providers rather than being tied to one vendor, and layers in notifications and a lightweight footprint that fits homelab and embedded hardware well. Because it's built on Restic, it inherits Restic's proven, well-audited encryption and deduplication rather than reinventing backup mechanics from scratch — a real trust advantage over less established backup tools. For anyone running a homelab or small infrastructure who wants proper 3-2-1 backups across multiple providers without vendor lock-in, Pluton is a strong pick; users who want a fully managed backup service with no configuration should consider a paid provider like Backblaze instead.
