This software is an experimental hobby project and proof of concept.
It is not a professional, certified, audited, supported, or production-ready backup solution. It has not been validated for business-critical, commercial, regulated, or other professional use.
Use of this software for production systems, business purposes, or the protection of important, valuable, confidential, regulated, or irreplaceable data is strongly discouraged.
This software includes functions that may delete, purge, overwrite, move, replace, or otherwise modify files, directories, backups, snapshots, and other data at source and destination locations.
Retention, cleanup, synchronization, and purging operations may result in partial or complete, permanent, and irreversible data loss.
Data loss may occur due to, among other things:
- software defects or programming errors;
- design flaws or undocumented behavior;
- incorrect configuration or operation;
- incorrect source or destination paths;
- retention, cleanup, filtering, or exclusion rules;
- unexpected interactions with operating systems, storage devices, network services, filesystems, permissions, or third-party software;
- hardware, storage, network, or service failures;
- interrupted, incomplete, corrupted, or unverified backup operations.
Warnings, previews, dry-run functions, confirmation dialogs, logs, and other protective measures may themselves contain defects or may fail to identify every destructive operation.
DO NOT RELY ON THIS SOFTWARE AS YOUR ONLY BACKUP.
Before using it, create independent and verified backups that are not accessible to this software. Test all functionality, including retention, purging, deletion, backup verification, and restoration, in an isolated non-production environment.
The user is solely responsible for reviewing all settings, paths, rules, filters, exclusions, retention policies, deletion options, backup results, and restore procedures.

- failed restoration or disaster recovery;
- loss of revenue, profits, contracts, business, goodwill, or expected savings;
- business interruption or system downtime;
- costs of data recovery, restoration, replacement systems, services, or substitute software;
- direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages.
THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, AND EVEN IF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE WAS KNOWN OR REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
