ZeroByte is a self-hosted backup automation platform built around the robust Restic backup engine, delivering encrypted, compressed, and schedulable data protection with a modern web interface. It targets self-hosting enthusiasts, homelab operators, and small teams who need a straightforward way to manage backups across diverse storage backends without resorting to complex scripts or CLI-only tools. Zerobyte lets you configure automated jobs with flexible schedules and retention policies, monitor backup jobs through a centralized dashboard, and choose from multiple source types (like local directories, NFS, SMB, WebDAV, and more), all while ensuring end-to-end encryption via Restic underneath. The system also supports common remote destinations such as S3-compatible storage or REST servers and encapsulates much of the complexity of backup logic so users can focus on reliability and restore confidence rather than manual orchestration.
