Relica 2.1.0 released
Quick update: version 2.1.0 is out with immutable backups for Relica Cloud.
(This is the sixth release since December, I’ve been busy.)
What’s new:
- Immutable mode — 30/90/365-day lock periods. Ransomware can’t modify or delete your backups.
- Storage size display per destination
- Dashboard improvements
- Destinations can now be deleted from the UI
How it works:
Built on restic’s append-only mode, with 4 layers of server-side enforcement. Even if an attacker fully compromises your machine and Relica credentials, they can’t delete snapshots from Relica Cloud. Every layer (client, rclone, central server, proxy) independently rejects prune operations when immutable mode is active.
Disabling immutable mode triggers an email alert as an added security layer and doesn’t take effect until the lock period expires (which is counted from last successful backup). So even if someone tries to turn it off, existing backups stay protected for 30/90/365 days.
Happy to share more technical details if anyone’s interested.
