Features

• Multi-database support — Manage MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, SQLite, and Redis/Valkey servers from a single interface
• SSH tunnel support — Connect to databases in private networks through a bastion/jump server with password or key-based authentication
• Automated backups — Schedule recurring backups on daily or weekly intervals. Flexible retention policies: simple time-based (days) or GFS (grandfather-father-son)
• Multiple compression options — gzip, zstd (20-40% better compression), or encrypted (AES-256 for sensitive data)
• Cross-server restore — Restore snapshots from production to staging, or between any compatible servers
• Flexible storage — Store backups locally, on S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, MinIO, etc.), or remote servers via SFTP/FTP
• Real-time monitoring — Track backup and restore progress with detailed job logs
• Failure notifications — Get alerted via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Pushover, Gotify, or Webhook when jobs fail
• Team ready — Multi-user support with role-based access and optional two-factor authentication
• Simple deployment — Single Docker container with built-in web server, queue worker, and scheduler
