Cybee: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cybee is a cloud service for backing up Windows and Linux servers, built on the open-source Restic engine. Data is encrypted at the source before it goes to S3 object storage; the service uses deduplication, chooses between S3 storage classes and supports immutable backups through S3 Object Lock. An orchestrator manages bandwidth and priorities within the configured backup windows. According to the vendor, the encryption keys stay under the customer's control. Cybee is offered as a cloud service for IT departments.

Cybee is a French company based in Lyon; no owner or parent company is named on its website. According to the vendor, the platform runs on T Cloud Public, an OpenStack cloud operated by T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom) in Europe, and for S3 storage you can choose from European partners. Cybee itself is not open source; only the underlying Restic engine is. For a European organisation this means EU data residency is described, but the exact storage location depends on the storage partner chosen.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cybee

Cybee is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Cybee scores best on data residency.

Cybee is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Cybee together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
