Enterprise Features, Zero Compromise

Every feature designed for data integrity. Chain of custody, audit trails, and verification built in.

Forensic Imaging

Bit-for-bit disk imaging with cryptographic verification. Every byte accounted for, every hash verified.

Rust Performance

Built in Rust for maximum speed and memory safety. Multi-threaded compression and deduplication.

AES-256 Encryption

Military-grade encryption protects your data at rest and in transit. Zero-knowledge architecture.

Cloud & Local

Backup to local storage, NAS, or cloud providers. S3-compatible storage supported out of the box.

Deduplication

Block-level deduplication reduces storage costs by 60-80%. Only unique data is stored.

Incremental Backups

After the initial backup, only changes are captured. Hourly backups in minutes, not hours.

Built for Critical Data

From system archives to disaster recovery, Clonus handles backup needs where integrity matters.

System Archives

Create verified, immutable archives of critical systems. Cryptographic proof of data integrity at any point in time.

Workstation Backup

Protect workstations with continuous incremental backups. Restore any file from any point in time.

Evidence Preservation

Chain-of-custody imaging for digital evidence. Court-admissible forensic copies with hash verification.

Disaster Recovery

Full system recovery in minutes. Boot from backup images or restore to new hardware seamlessly.
