Backups can be stored in your own S3-compatible storage or in SnapShooter's own S3-compatible storage built on Amazon Web Services.

Supported storage providers include Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Firebase, UpCloud, ScaleWay and custom S3 endpoints. Security options include two-factor authentication, SSH keys, OpenSSL RSA encryption and IP-based access limits.
SnapShooter is aimed at individuals, developers, small teams, larger teams and web agencies. It offers a free plan covering a single backup resource, alongside Lite, Startup, Business, Agency and Agency Pro editions that scale the number of backup resources, backup frequency, retention options, included storage and team members. Paid plans are available monthly or annually, with a trial and a refund window on paid plans.
