PostgreSQL backup

Databasus is an open-source, self-hosted backup management tool designed primarily for PostgreSQL databases, with additional support for MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB. It addresses the need for reliable, automated database backups with a focus on Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) and restore verification, making it suitable for individual developers, DevOps teams, and enterprises seeking robust disaster recovery solutions.

The platform offers scheduled backups with flexible timing options, including hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and custom cron expressions. Databasus supports logical, physical (full and incremental), and WAL-streaming backups for PostgreSQL, covering versions 12 through 18. Backups can be stored in various destinations such as local storage, S3, Google Drive, FTP, NAS, Dropbox, and other services, ensuring users retain ownership and control over their data. The service also provides enterprise-grade encryption for sensitive data and backups, along with read-only database access to prevent data corruption.

Restore verification is a built-in feature, where the system periodically restores the latest backup into a temporary database container and reports the outcome, ensuring that backups are not only completed successfully but are also restorable. Health checks can be configured to monitor database availability, with notifications sent if the database goes down or recovers. Notifications regarding backup progress and outcomes can be delivered via Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, webhooks, and other platforms, supporting team communication and operational awareness.

Databasus includes access management for teams, allowing users to view or manage databases and organize access by team or project. Comprehensive audit logs track system activities, user actions, and configuration changes. The tool is self-hosted via Docker, with deployment options suitable for both local machines and VPS environments, and installation can be completed in a few minutes. 0 license and is free to use, with its source code available for copying and forking. The platform is supported by open source programs from Anthropic and OpenAI.
