Beta terms of use

For the Backproof Monitor beta. Last updated 11 Nov 2026.

The beta

The Monitor beta is free. It's invite-only unless we open sign-ups to everyone. Features and limits can change while we learn from testers, and we'll tell you in the changelog and by email when they do.

What Backproof does, and doesn't

• It lists the folders you choose and checks that backups arrive on time and at a normal size.
• It doesn't prove that a backup restores. Restore tests come with the runner in a later release.
• It doesn't store, copy or manage your backups. They stay in your storage.
• It can miss problems, for example when your provider is down or a key stops working. Backproof tells you when it can't check.

Your part

• Use the narrowest key your provider offers, ideally one that can only list.
• Keep making and keeping your own backups. Backproof watches them; it doesn't replace them.
• Only connect storage you're allowed to connect.

Availability

We aim to check every 15 minutes, but there's no uptime guarantee during the beta. Planned maintenance is announced in the changelog.

Beta perk

Testers keep 3 databases for free after the full release.

Feedback

We'd love your feedback and may use it to improve Backproof, without owing you anything for it.

Ending

You can delete your account at any time. We may end the beta or your access with 30 days' notice, except for misuse.

Liability

Backproof is software, and software can break. During the beta it's provided as is, without any promise that it works without errors or catches every problem.

• Backproof can have bugs, miss a late or missing backup, send an alert late or not at all, or be unavailable.
• As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage from using Backproof or from relying on it, including lost data, lost revenue or downtime.
• Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence.
