Side by side
A self-hosted web tool that schedules PostgreSQL backups, physical, incremental, WAL streaming and logical, to S3, Google Drive or FTP, with point-in-time recovery and restore checks.
Backs up and restores virtual machines, physical servers, cloud workloads and Microsoft 365, with immutable storage and ransomware recovery.
Created in 2025 with a very fast release pace, so it has less of a track record than pgBackRest or Barman.
Needs Windows servers and skilled setup, and licences per workload add up.
