Data.Protected.
- Buddy backups. Store your data securely on another friend's HexOS server, and hold a backup for your friends, too.
- Encrypted by default. Rest easy knowing that your data is still only accessible by you, even when it's stored elsewhere.
- Restore a folder, or a whole server. Deleted a file by mistake or experienced a critical hardware failure? Your data is still safe. You can restore everything, even on a brand new server.
Health.Monitored.
- Hardware Advisor. Matches your exact parts and hardware revisions against issues that have been checked by real people. Get informed ahead of time, before problems arise.
- Drive Certification and Deep Check. Let HexOS validate your drive health before you trust it with your critical data. Deep Check tests used hardware more thoroughly so you can start storing files with confidence.
- Diagnostics on demand. Run diagnostics for storage, memory, and the rest of your hardware on your own schedule. HexOS will provide recommended solutions if it finds any problems.
