your-droplet
$ curl https://icedrop.pharis.io/install/<token> | sudo bash

One command. Installs Restic, sets up cron, registers your server.

Up and running in minutes

No complex configuration. No SSH access from our side. Ever.

01

Connect DigitalOcean

Authorize iceDrop via OAuth. We read your droplet list — nothing else. No password, no SSH keys.

02

Select droplets to protect

Pick which servers to back up. We provision isolated Backblaze B2 storage per server automatically.

03

Run the install command

Paste one curl command on your server. Installs Restic, sets up cron, and registers back to the dashboard.

Everything you need for disaster recovery

Built on Restic and Backblaze B2 — proven, open-source, and cost-efficient.

Client-side encryption

Data is encrypted with Restic before it leaves your server. Your keys never touch our infrastructure.

Incremental deduplication

Only changed blocks are uploaded. After the first backup, subsequent ones are fast and tiny.

Automated scheduling

A lightweight agent backs up on your schedule via cron. No manual steps, no babysitting.

One-click restore

Provision a fresh droplet from any snapshot via cloud-init. ~15–30 min RTO.

Cross-region portability

Backblaze B2 stores your data independently of DigitalOcean. Restore anywhere, any time.

Dashboard monitoring

See last backup time, storage used, and get alerts on missed or failed backups.

Simple, predictable pricing

Per-server flat fee. No storage metering surprises. 14-day free trial on all plans.

* Honest disclaimer: DO Snapshots restore in ~5 min. iceDrop restores in ~15–30 min via cloud-init. If sub-5 min RTO is critical, keep native snapshots for that server.
