Databasus is a free, open-source, self-hosted backup tool for PostgreSQL (plus MySQL, MariaDB, and MongoDB) with Point-in-Time Recovery via WAL streaming and automated restore verification. It offers scheduled physical and logical backups, multiple storage destinations (S3, Google Drive, FTP), and notifications via Slack, Discord, and Telegram, deployable via Docker, script, or Helm.
Use cases
- back up postgresql databases to s3 on a schedule
- set up point-in-time recovery for postgres with low RPO
- verify that database backups can actually be restored
- self-hosted backup dashboard for mysql and postgres
- stream postgres WAL for near-zero data loss disaster recovery
- get slack or telegram notifications when a database backup fails
- run incremental postgres backups using postgres 17 native support
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, web-UI-based backup manager for PostgreSQL with PITR
- you need automated restore verification rather than just backup jobs
- you want backups pushed to multiple destinations like S3, Google Drive, or FTP with alerting
- you prefer a Docker or Kubernetes (Helm) deployment you fully control
When to avoid
- you only need simple cron-driven pg_dump scripts without a UI
- you need managed cloud backup services with vendor support
- you back up databases other than PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or MongoDB
- you require raw plain-SQL dump format output
