DBackup

DBackup provides automated, self-hosted backup solutions for databases, aiming to remove vendor lock-in and fit into existing infrastructure workflows. It is designed for users who require control over their database backup processes and prefer to run backup operations on their own infrastructure. The product supports direct and SSH connection modes, allowing backups either by connecting straight to the database or by executing dump tools remotely over SSH, which avoids the need to expose database ports to the backup server.

The tool is compatible with nine database engines, including MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis, Valkey, Microsoft SQL Server, and Firebird (in beta). DBackup can store backups across thirteen different storage destinations and integrates with nine notification channels, enabling users to receive alerts and updates through their preferred communication platforms. The system features a web dashboard for managing backup jobs, exploring storage and database contents, tracking history, and configuring templates, users, groups, and settings.

Security is a core feature, with AES-256-GCM encryption enabled by default to protect backup data. DBackup also offers a Recovery Kit, which allows users to restore backups with or without the DBackup application itself. Automation is supported through a full REST API, designed to be scriptable for integration into custom workflows or DevOps pipelines, not just for manual operation via the dashboard.

DBackup is distributed as open-source software under the GPL-3.0 license. Deployment is facilitated through Docker, as indicated by the provided example for running the application in a containerized environment. The tool is intended for those managing databases who seek automated, encrypted, and flexible backup solutions without reliance on third-party services.
