 encrypted offsite backups · routed over tor · paid in monero

Private Archive is a backup service that holds ciphertext for you. We do not see your filenames, your file contents, your IP address, your identity, or your payment trail. We do not want to see them. You install a small client. The client encrypts your files locally with keys you control, using Restic. The encrypted output is routed through Tor to our endpoint over mTLS. We pay no attention to who sent it, because we cannot. When you stop paying, your archive expires and is deleted. We will not write to you about it — we have no email, no name, no way to reach you.

THREAT MODEL ============ [+] Network observer (ISP, transit, server side) ........ blocked: tor + mtls [+] Server compromise of THIS service ........ blocked: client-side encryption [+] Disk seizure at THIS service ........ blocked: ciphertext only, no keys here [+] Insider with admin access ........ blocked: we hold no keys, no plaintext, no PII [+] Loss of YOUR client certificate ........ TOTAL ARCHIVE LOSS [+] Loss of YOUR encryption passphrase ........ TOTAL DATA LOSS [!] We treat the last two as features, not bugs. [!] Your cert IS your account. There is no recovery flow. There is no "forgot password" link. There is no support email that can help.

Restic encrypts every byte before it leaves your machine. We hold ciphertext only. Where we put those bytes does not matter — we couldn't read them anyway. No keys on our side, no plaintext on our side, no metadata about you on our side. Zero PII collected, ever. No analytics. No telemetry.

1. install client → curl -L https://privatearchive.xyz/releases/latest | sh 2. generate cert → privatearchive init 3. fund balance → privatearchive pay (prints monero address) 4. backup → privatearchive backup ~/Documents 5. forget about it
