PHPBU is a PHP-based command-line backup utility that creates, compresses, validates, and encrypts backups of databases and directories. It syncs backups to remote servers or cloud storage, cleans up old backup files, and reports backup results via mail, JSON, Prometheus, Telegram, or webhooks.

Use cases

• back up mysql databases automatically on a schedule
• encrypt database backups with openssl
• sync backups to amazon s3 or google drive
• create postgresql and mongodb dumps from a single config
• delete old backups and cap backup storage size
• get notified by telegram or mail when a backup fails
• validate backups by checking minimum size against previous runs

When to choose

• you need a single self-contained tool to back up multiple database types
• you want built-in compression, encryption, validation, and cloud sync in one config file
• you run PHP servers and prefer a PHAR/phive-installable CLI
• you need backup reporting hooks like Prometheus, Telegram, or webhooks

When to avoid

• you need block-level or incremental backups rather than full dumps
• your environment has no PHP runtime available
• you prefer GUI-based backup software
• you need Windows-native operation, since it relies on POSIX shell tools like tar
