Backups on completely separate infrastructure

Most cheap hosts store backups on the same server as your site. If the server dies, so do the backups. Kapsule stores every backup in encrypted object storage on a separate network, separate failure domain.

Separate infrastructure, not the same server as your site
Separate failure domain from your hosting
Geographic redundancy built into R2
Backups survive even a full server failure

Kapsule backups live on entirely separate infrastructure from your site. Off-site encrypted in a different cloud region.
