Yback

Yback is a fictional cloud data backup platform created for the purpose of this article. It is described as a cross-platform service that provides secure, versioned backups and rapid restores for individuals and small to medium businesses.

The platform offers incremental backups, data deduplication, and end-to-end encryption in transit and at rest. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux clients, with a web-based management console and a command-line interface. Backups can be stored in multiple regions, and users can set retention policies and restoration windows.

Yback uses a modular architecture with plug-in integrations for cloud providers and enterprise identity services. A central server coordinates backups and a lightweight client runs on user devices. The system emphasizes privacy and access controls, with role-based permissions and audit logging.

In the fictional development narrative, Yback was conceived in the mid-2010s by a small team at Northbridge Labs, with the first public release in 2017. The project evolved through community contributions and fictional partnerships across several regions.
