Frequently asked questions

Where did sendrecv.io come from?
We love ZFS and couldn't find any native ZFS off-site backup providers that met our needs, so we built our own.
What do you offer?
Dedicated ZFS jails for off-site replication. SSH key auth only. Plans from 10 GB to 500 GB, or contact us for custom sizing.
Why should I use sendrecv.io?
No wrappers, no agents — just native zfs send | ssh. You keep all ZFS features including encryption, snapshots, and incremental sends.
How does my subscription work?
Monthly subscription per conduit. Each conduit has a maximum amount of usable storage, active snapshots, and dataset quantity.
What is a billing cycle?
The billing cycle begins the day you subscribe and continues on the same day each month.
How do I cancel a subscription?
Visit Manage Subscriptions in your account to cancel any active conduits.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Your conduit stays active until the end of your current billing cycle.
Where can I report a billing issue?
Email [email protected] with any billing questions.
How fast will I be able to begin using my conduit after subscribing?
Immediately — your jail is provisioned in under 60 seconds after payment.
What is the maximum amount of data I can store?
Plans go up to 500 GB. For larger amounts contact us at [email protected].
What happens to my data after I cancel?
At the end of your billing cycle your datasets are destroyed and capacity is returned to the ZFS pool.
How is my data secured?
That's up to you. For sensitive data we recommend ZFS native dataset encryption — the decryption keys are not stored with your data.
Where is my data stored?
sendrecv.io uses multiple providers with highly available block storage to host our ZFS pools.
