General
- 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.

Security & Privacy
- What happens to my data after I cancel?
