## What it is
Databasement is a self-hosted web application for managing scheduled database backups and restores across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, MongoDB, SQLite, Firebird, and Redis/Valkey. It supports S3, Azure Blob, Samba, SFTP/FTP, and local storage, with SSH tunneling, remote agents, retention policies, and failure notifications.

## Use cases
- schedule automated nightly backups of my postgres databases to s3
- back up mysql and mongodb servers from one web interface
- restore a production database snapshot to a staging server
- back up databases behind a firewall via ssh tunnel
- refresh a staging database nightly from the latest production backup
- get notified on slack when a database backup fails
- encrypt database backups with aes-256 before uploading

## When to choose
- you need a single self-hosted UI to schedule and monitor backups across many database engines
- you want flexible storage targets like S3, SFTP, SMB, or Azure Blob with retention policies
- you need cross-server restores or scheduled staging refreshes
- you want SSH tunnel or outbound-agent access to databases in private networks

## When to avoid
- you only need simple file or filesystem backups rather than database dumps
- you prefer a managed cloud backup service with no self-hosting
- you need application-level or non-database data backups
- you want a lightweight cron script rather than a full web application
