# Backup Storage
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/data-storage/backup-storage



A **storage box** is a fixed-size space for backups. You mount it like a drive over SFTP, WebDAV or FTP,
or send backups to it with rsync, BorgBackup or restic. Every box has automatic snapshots,
sub-accounts and an optional web panel, for a flat monthly price with no traffic fees.

Find it in the console under **Data & Storage › Backup Storage**.

Every plan includes automatic snapshots, sub-accounts and BorgBackup and restic support. Prices are on
the **New storage box** page. You pay monthly; the first month is prorated on your next invoice. You can
[change the plan](/en/data-storage/backup-storage/manage-a-storage-box#change-the-plan) later without
moving data.

## How you sign in [#how-you-sign-in]

Each box has a host name like `sb100001.backup.infraista.cloud` and a main user like `u100001`. The main
user signs in with a password, an SSH key, or both. [Sub-accounts](/en/data-storage/backup-storage/sub-accounts)
get their own logins, each locked to one folder.

## Backup Storage or Object Storage? [#backup-storage-or-object-storage]

Backup Storage is for backup tools: a box you mount and fill, flat price. [Object
Storage](/en/data-storage/object-storage) is for apps: buckets over the S3 API, public URLs, billed by
usage.
