A lightweight Docker companion container that performs recurring or one-off backups of Docker volumes to local directories or S3, WebDAV, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, Google Drive, and SSH-compatible storage. It supports backup rotation, GPG encryption, and notifications for failed backup runs.

Use cases

back up docker volumes to s3 on a schedule
automatically rotate old docker volume backups
encrypt docker volume backups with gpg
run one-off docker volume backup from cli
back up docker volumes in a compose setup
send notifications when a docker backup fails
sync docker volume backups to ssh or webdav storage

When to choose

you run Docker or Docker Swarm and need scheduled volume backups
you want a small companion container rather than a full backup system
you need multiple storage backends (S3, WebDAV, SSH, cloud providers) with rotation and encryption

When to avoid

you need full system or database-level backups rather than volume file backups
you are not using Docker and just need simple file backups
you need incremental/deduplicated backups like restic or borg
