Why this exists

90% of “disasters” are one deleted file.

90% of “we lost a file” calls are: someone deleted a contract, overwrote a spreadsheet, lost a config file. Restoring an entire system image to recover one file is overkill — it takes an hour, costs cloud spend, and frustrates everyone. Browse Files mounts the backup image's filesystem in the dashboard. You navigate it like Windows Explorer. Find the file. Click. Done. Instant.

  • Navigate any backup image like Windows Explorer
  • No full restore, no EBS volume, no cloud VM
  • Find the file, click download — instant

How it works

Index. Browse. Stream.

We index file metadata from every backup image. When you browse, we serve the directory tree from the index. When you click download, we stream the file's blocks from the chunk store directly — no full assembly required.
