A multi-engine database backup tool (Docker image and single Go binary) that backs up MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite, MSSQL, InfluxDB, and CouchDB on flexible schedules. It supports filesystem, S3-compatible, and Azure storage targets with compression, GPG encryption, checksums, retention, notifications, and an interactive restore tool.

Use cases

• schedule nightly backups of mysql and postgres databases
• back up mongodb and redis containers to s3
• encrypt database dumps with gpg before storing them
• run scheduled database backups in docker compose
• restore a database dump from a backup archive
• back up multiple databases with per-job retention and compression
• skip backups during blackout hours
• get notified when a database backup fails

When to choose

• you need one tool to back up many different database engines
• you want scheduled, compressed, encrypted dumps to local disk, S3, or Azure
• you run containerized infrastructure and want env-var-driven backup jobs
• you need restore tooling and failure notifications alongside backups

When to avoid

• you need continuous replication or point-in-time recovery rather than dump-based backups
• you want full-system or file-level backups, not just databases
• you need a GUI-managed enterprise backup suite
• you require cloud-native managed backup services instead of self-hosted tooling
