Why EverKeeping

Backup that works the way you do

Set it up once, then forget it exists. Works for creators, freelancers, and anyone who can’t afford to lose their work.

🔄

Mirror & Incremental backups

Mirror keeps a perfect, readable copy of your source - open it in File Explorer any time to confirm your files are there. Incremental saves a snapshot of every version so you can go back to any point in time.

🗄️

Any destination you control

Back up to a NAS, external drive, or any cloud-synced folder. No new accounts, no locked-in storage. If you can see it in Explorer, EverKeeping can use it.

⏱️

Runs silently in the background

Schedule a backup once. EverKeeping watches for changes and backs up automatically - even while you’re working. No manual triggers needed.

🎛️

Flexible rules, for everyone

From Lightroom catalogs to code repositories and business documents - exclusion and inclusion rules mean you back up exactly what matters, and nothing you don’t.

📂

Open-file backup via VSS

Backs up files currently in use through Windows Volume Shadow Copy. Your active project stays protected - even mid-export or mid-save.

🔒

Your files, your control

No telemetry. No subscription account. Free tier requires nothing - paid tiers activate with a one-time licence key from your Paddle receipt. Your data never leaves your drives.

Real risk, real people

Some moments you can’t undo.

This is the exact situation EverKeeping was built for. Maybe one of these is yours.

Cristina·The wedding photographer
“I had two weeks of edits on that drive. The delivery was tomorrow.”
Cristina finished editing at 2am. 847 RAW files, culled, graded, exported. She plugged in her external to do a final check before sending the gallery link. The drive made a soft click - and Windows showed nothing. She tried everything. Then she called the couple and had to explain what happened.
Mirror backup running on every import would have had a live copy on the NAS five minutes after she came home from the venue.
Marco·The music producer
“Three months of sessions. Gone on a Thursday afternoon.”
Marco had been in his home studio since January. 23 tracks, 400GB of stems, presets, and plugin states. The album was done - he was mastering. A Windows update forced a restart during a large file move. The SSD came back with a corrupted partition table. The recovery service said two weeks and €600, with no guarantees.
An incremental backup would have had every session version timestamped. He’d have restored the 9pm Thursday snapshot in under a minute.
Lena·The travel filmmaker
“Six days of footage. Laptop gone at the airport.”
Lena shot across three cities for a brand documentary - 4K, 6 days, 1.1TB of footage. She’d meant to set up automatic cloud sync before leaving but the upload was too slow at the hotel. At Bangkok airport, half asleep at 3am, her carry-on was gone. The footage was on the laptop. The laptop was in the bag.
One cable into the hotel room’s portable drive, EverKeeping running silently every evening. The footage would have been safe before she fell asleep.
David·The freelance designer
“Eight years of client work. Encrypted in eleven minutes.”
David had been freelancing since 2016. Source PSDs, brand guides, client font libraries, invoice PDFs - all organized meticulously on one machine. A phishing email. A single click. Ransomware spread silently through his file structure for eleven minutes before Windows Defender caught it. Everything it had touched was unreadable.
A destination drive not continuously connected is invisible to ransomware. His last mirror snapshot would have been intact and ready to restore.
Ana·The cloud believer
“I had everything on OneDrive. I thought I was covered.”
Ana had 1.8TB synced across OneDrive, Google Photos, and iCloud. She felt organised, modern, protected. Until ransomware encrypted her local files - and her sync client obediently propagated every renamed, encrypted file to the cloud within minutes. The recovery window for previous versions was 30 days. She found out on day 31.
EverKeeping backs up to a destination you control - separate from your cloud sync, versioned, and on your schedule. A second line of defence the cloud doesn’t give you.
Julia·The production assistant
“I saved that file somewhere. I know I did. Shooting starts in eight minutes.”
Julia coordinates between directors, DoPs, and clients on commercial shoots. Scripts, call sheets, supplier contracts, signed permits - scattered across a laptop, two USB drives, and a shared folder nobody has updated since Tuesday. The location manager needs the permit. It’s not where she thought. Her laptop has four folders named “Final.”
Smart Indexing (coming v1.1) catalogs every file across every backup destination. Julia types “location permit” - every version, every location, in under a second.
