2026-09-13 — Limits 🕒​

• Maximum retention period raised from 30 to 365 days — backups can now be kept for up to a year. The default is now 30 days instead of 7 days; you set the retention period per project (see Limits and Lifecycle of a backup).

2026-07-10 — Launch 🚀​

Official start of lionbackup. Available at launch:

• Client-side end-to-end encryption — backups are, on request, encrypted on your system already; the keys remain exclusively with you (see Encryption).
• Immutable, write-protected storage (WORN) — projects configured accordingly store backups immutably within the retention period; reading is done exclusively via a separate token with read permission (see Lifecycle of a backup).
• Multi-tenant portal — organizations, projects, roles, tokens and billing in one place, with single sign-on and multi-factor authentication (see Portal).
• Open-source client for Linux and Windows.
• Storage Zone de01 — Nuremberg (Germany) available; further European locations are in preparation (see Regions and zones).
