Managed FTP for Automated Backups
A durable, scriptable FTP target for scheduled backups.
Plenty of systems — databases, appliances, CMS platforms, network gear — know how to push a backup to an FTP server but nothing more modern. Rather than retrofit each one, teams point them at a reliable FTP endpoint and let the durable storage and retention happen behind it.
TrueFTP is that endpoint. Backups stream over FTP with TLS into S3-backed storage with eleven nines of durability, and version history means each night’s backup is retained rather than overwritten. Standard FTP libraries and cron scripts work unchanged.
What you get
- Drop-in FTP target for any backup tool that speaks FTP
- S3-backed durability (11 nines) for backup retention
- Version history keeps successive backups, not just the latest
- FTP over TLS for encrypted off-site copies
- Per-system credentials and directories
- Webhooks to alert on backup arrival or failure
Works with the tools you already have
If a system can upload to FTP, it can back up to TrueFTP. Cron jobs, database dump scripts, and appliance backup settings need only a host and credentials.
Durable, versioned, off-site by default
Backups land in S3-backed storage with version history, so a corrupted or partial run never overwrites a known-good backup, and copies live off your primary infrastructure.
Know your backups ran
Use webhooks or the audit log to confirm each scheduled backup arrived — and to alert when one didn’t.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use cron and standard FTP libraries to back up to TrueFTP?
Yes. TrueFTP is a standard FTP server with TLS, so existing cron jobs, shell scripts, and FTP libraries in any language upload to it without changes.
Are old backups overwritten?
Not silently — version history retains successive uploads, so each backup run is preserved and you can roll back to an earlier copy if needed.
