<div>
When setting up 11sync.net, you are entering your password on your own
devices. All your files are encrypted with that password. That way,
nobody can read your files without a password, even us. Thanks to
Syncthing, we now offer convenient file synchronization and backups
without compromising on privacy.
At 11sync.net, we distinguish through several key features and
principles:
<p>11sync.net charges for things that do actually cost us: storage and
networking. We do not charge for the number of devices, number of
folders, number of connected peers or similar.
<ul>
<p>To use 11sync.net, you do not need to install any new software besides
Syncthing. 11sync.net makes your existing file sharing setup smoother and
safer.
<li><strong>Privacy-centric:</strong> at 11sync.net, you set your
password directly on your devices, ensuring that all your files
are securely encrypted. This encryption means your data remains
unreadable to anyone without your password, including us. We
ensure that your files and backups are convenient, safe, and not
compromising on privacy.</li>
<li><strong>Fair and transparent pricing:</strong> we believe in
straightforward, honest pricing. At 11sync.net, you only pay for
what you use — the storage and networking resources. We dont
charge based on the number of devices, folders, or connected
peers. Our goal is to provide you with an affordable solution
without hidden costs or unnecessary fees.</li>
<li><strong>Seamless integration:</strong> to get started with
11sync.net, all you need is Syncthing. We enhance your existing
file-sharing setup, making it smoother and safer, without adding
complexity to your digital life.</li>
</ul>
<p>Choose 11sync.net for a secure, straightforward, and seamless file
synchronization experience that respects your privacy and wallet.

<label for="ac-10"><h2>What is a backup?</h2></label>
<div>
<p>A backup is a copy of your data stored somewhere else. If the original
data is lost, it can be recovered from a backup. Backups are essential
for data that is worth saving.
A backup is essentially a copy of your data stored in a different
location. This is crucial because if you lose your original data, you
can retrieve it from the backup. Backups are particularly vital for
preserving data that holds value or importance.</p>
<p>Here are a few common ways how data is lost, when having a backup
becomes essential:
<p>Here are some common scenarios where having a backup proves
indispensable:</p> <ul>
<li>Failure of a hard drive.</li>
<li>Misplacing or theft of your computer.</li>
<li>Incidents of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware">ransomware</a>,
where your data is held hostage by attackers demanding
payment.</li>
<li>Accidental deletion of crucial files or folders.</li>
<ul>
<li>Hard-drive failure.</li>
<li>Loss of the computer (e.g. theft or leaving at the wrong place).</li>
<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware">Ransomware</a>,
when data is locked out by an attacker unless a ransom is paid.</li>
<li>"Whoops, I permanently deleted the wrong folder".</li>
</ul>
11sync.net snapshots your files regularly (as frequently as 10 minute
intervals) and retains them for as long as years. This gives peace of
mind that they will not be gone or lost.
<p>11sync.net backs up (i.e. copies to a separate location) your files at
regular intervals, which could be as frequent as every 10 minutes. These
backups can be securely stored for extended periods, guaranteeing that
your data is recoverable. This gives you the assurance and peace of mind
that your valuable data is safe.

I don't know yet. Stay tuned.
While we have not finalized the exact pricing structure yet, here are the
guiding principles that will shape our approach:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cost-Reflective Pricing:</strong> Our pricing will
directly reflect the actual costs involved in providing our
services. This means we plan to charge based on the resources you
use, such as storage space and network bandwidth. This approach
ensures that you only pay for what you need and use, without any
hidden fees or surprise charges.</li>
<li><strong>Technical Efficiency:</strong> We are continuously
working to optimize our technical infrastructure to be as
efficient as possible. This not only enhances performance but
also helps in keeping operational costs down, savings that we intend
to pass on to our users.</li>
<li><strong>Scalability and Flexibility:</strong> Understanding that
different users have different needs, our pricing will be
designed to accommodate a range of usage scenarios, from
individual users to larger enterprises. Whether you require
minimal storage or extensive synchronization capabilities, our
goal is to offer a scalable solution that fits your specific
requirements.</li>

<p>We appreciate your patience and interest in 11sync.net. Stay tuned for
more detailed information on our pricing structure as we progress through
the development stages.
