Backups
An index and topic collection covering backup, disaster recovery, and data protection APIs. Backup APIs enable applications and platforms to schedule, orchestrate, and verify the copying of data from production systems to durable storage targets, manage retention and immutability policies, and recover workloads after incidents ranging from accidental deletion to ransomware. This collection spans enterprise backup platforms like Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, and Cohesity, SaaS data backup providers like Rewind, OwnBackup, Spanning, and Backupify, endpoint and cloud backup services like Acronis, Druva, and Carbonite, cloud-native backup services from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, open-source tools like Restic, BorgBackup, and Duplicati, and storage targets used as backup destinations such as Backblaze B2 and Wasabi.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Backups the way a machine reads it — 28 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Backups scores 9.5/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Backups
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Backups. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Features 7

Backup Job Orchestration
Backup APIs schedule, trigger, and monitor backup jobs across servers, virtual machines, databases, SaaS tenants, and endpoints, with policy-driven recurrence and dependency man...
Recovery Point Management
APIs enumerate and inspect recovery points (snapshots, restore points, incremental chains) so that operators and automation can pick the right point in time for granular or full...
Retention and Lifecycle Policies
Backup platforms expose retention rules, GFS (grandfather-father-son) schedules, and lifecycle transitions that move data between hot, cold, and archive tiers like S3 Glacier or...
Immutability and Ransomware Protection
Modern backup APIs configure object lock, WORM storage, air-gapped copies, and anomaly detection to defend recovery data against ransomware and insider tampering.
SaaS Data Backup
SaaS-focused providers like Rewind, OwnBackup, Spanning, and Backupify back up Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, GitHub, Shopify, and other tenant data through vendor...
Disaster Recovery Orchestration
DR APIs from AWS, Azure, VMware, and Veeam coordinate failover, failback, runbook execution, and recovery validation across primary and secondary sites or cloud regions.
Cross-Cloud and Hybrid Targets
Backup APIs write to a mix of on-prem appliances, object storage (Backblaze B2, Wasabi, S3, Azure Blob), and cloud-native services, enabling 3-2-1 strategies across providers.

Semantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Backups, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
