Burrowkeep

Backups for small studios, from the command line

Your work, kept twice. Every hour. Without asking.

Burrowkeep is one small command that copies your studio's files somewhere safe, seals them with your own key and gets out of the way. Install it once; restore anything from the last ninety days in a single line.

Four commands. That is the whole tool.

burrow keep
Copies every changed file to a second place you choose, a spare drive or a storage bucket, in the background while you work.
burrow restore
Brings back one file, one folder or a whole machine as it was at any hour in the last ninety days.
burrow seal
Locks each copy with a key only your studio holds. We could not read your files if we wanted to.
burrow report
Sends one short line each morning: what was kept, what was skipped and why. No dashboard to check.
