Plakar is an open-source backup and restore platform that protects data across environments from local files to multi-cloud AI pipelines. Its engine, Kloset, packages each backup as a compact, immutable data unit with structure, metadata, and end-to-end encryption, enabling portable, dependency-free snapshots. Plakar deduplicates and compresses data inline—claiming up to 90% storage reduction—organizes backups into a queryable repository, and makes snapshots browsable and verifiable without restoring. The company launched its first stable release and emphasizes reuse of protected data for production workflows such as model training, analytics, and compliance auditing. Headquartered in Paris, Plakar plans to use new funding to expand its engineering team, accelerate feature development, and enhance platform scalability. It will also target AI-focused startups and enterprises to grow its customer base.
