Syncvault for Small Business Owners: Encrypted backups to storage you already own

Encrypted backups to storage you already own — no Backblaze subscription on top.

Small businesses get nickel-and-dimed by per-user pricing on helpdesks, forms, signatures and scheduling. One-time software makes the toolset a capital expense instead of a creeping payroll line.

The tool this job usually means renting is Backblaze Personal, at $9/mo — roughly $108 a year, every year. Syncvault does the job for a one-time $29 — running locally on your own machine.

Fit check

Why it fits how small business owners work

🔐 Client-side AES-256-GCM

Key is derived from your passphrase with scrypt, never uploaded and never stored in plaintext.

For small business owners, client-side AES-256-GCM pays off without adding another line to the monthly overhead — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.

🧬 Content-addressed dedupe

Objects are keyed by SHA-256 of content, so identical or unchanged files upload exactly once.

For small business owners, content-addressed dedupe pays off without adding another line to the monthly overhead — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.

🕰️ Point-in-time versioning

Keep the last N versions of every file and browse the backed-up tree as of any point in time to restore.

For small business owners, point-in-time versioning pays off without adding another line to the monthly overhead — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.

Workflow

A typical workflow

STEP 01

Buy once on Whop

One payment of $29 gets you the signed Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/data-backup-cloud-sync-mvp and run npm start yourself for free.

STEP 02

Set a passphrase and destination

Pick a vault passphrase and point Syncvault at your own S3 bucket or a local/network folder.

STEP 03

Watch a folder and back up

Add the folders you care about, set a schedule, and hit Back up now — everything encrypts locally first.

What it costs, honestly

Syncvault is $29, once. Backblaze Personal at $9/mo — roughly $108 a year, every year. A 100 GB backup is $29 once plus ~$7/yr of storage versus $108/yr on Backblaze — it pays for itself in about four months, then it's just bytes.
