What happens at the end of the contract? (reversibility)

Reversibility is structural, not contractual goodwill: your repositories use the open-source Restic format and remain fully restorable with the free Restic tools, without Cybee. Your encryption keys have been yours from day one. Leaving Cybee means uninstalling an agent — not negotiating access to your own data.

Reversibility at Cybee is structural, not contractual goodwill.

 

Your repositories use the open-source Restic format — publicly documented, auditable — and remain fully restorable with the free Restic tools, on any machine, without Cybee’s software or permission.

 

Your encryption keys have been yours from day one, so there is nothing to hand back and nothing to negotiate. Leaving Cybee means uninstalling an agent — not discovering, at the worst moment, that your backup history belongs to someone else’s file format.

 

This is the test we suggest you apply to any backup vendor: could you restore your data if the vendor disappeared tomorrow? With Cybee, the answer is yes, by design.
