Key Features

MariaDB Backup Software - Top Features

Automated Backup Scheduling

You do not need to manually perform backups every time. Simply decide the schedule once such as hourly, daily, weekly and monthly. The software then automatically creates backup of the MariaDB database at the scheduled time. This guarantees that the most recent backup is always accessible and removes the possibility of forgetting to backup your data.

Encryption Before Storage

Whenever the process of creating backup files takes place, it encrypts the backup files. The process of encryption makes the backup file unreadable unless a password or encryption key is entered by the user. No matter where the backup file is stored, either on cloud, NAS or remote server, the data is protected from any unauthorized access.

Flexible Backup Type

There are two types of backup files in MariaDB backup tool and you get to choose which one you want based on your preferences. Full Backup is a backup of the whole database while Incremental Backup only backs up the newly added information since the previous backup.

Real Time Compression

Inbuilt compression capability helps compress the file size during the backup process itself. Since the process of compression takes place along with the process of making a backup, no further compression is required. Reduced size of backup files saves storage space and time for uploading the files.

Multiple Storage Destinations

SQL Backup tool provides you with the choice to save the backups to multiple destinations other than one. The destinations you can save to are Local Drives, NAS, Amazon S3, Wasabi, MinIO or SFTP server. If something goes wrong at the first destination point, you have your backup file at

Backup Retention Policy

It is not necessary to keep every backup indefinitely. A backup retention policy determines how long older backup versions are stored. For instance, just keep the last seven backups or those made in the last ninety days. Older ones get automatically deleted without taking up valuable storage space.

Protected Credentials Management

Connecting to MariaDB Server needs username and password and other login details. It will store these details in ciphertext format instead of storing as a plain-text file. And do not have to ask again and again for the password if you want to run scheduled backup.

Backup History & Activity Logs

The MariaDB backup solution keeps track of every backup you take. You can see when each one happened, if they were successful or not, how long they took and where your backups are stored. If there is an issue with backup, you will be able to easily look through these logs to find out what went wrong and troubleshoot accordingly.

Local and Remote MariaDB Support

This means that with this backup solution you can take backups of Maria DB databases hosted not only on your computer (local) but also hosted on another computers across a network/internet. Whether it is residing on your local computer/VPS/cloud/server/remote office etc., everything can be handled using one application.

The part that matters

Restore MariaDB Database Backup Anytime

Recovering a MariaDB database takes four steps in the app: choose the job, choose the point in time, choose what to do with it, review. The tool then downloads the backup, decrypts it, decompresses it and feeds the dump straight back through the mariadb client. Press play to watch every step.

Restores are chain-aware: pick any incremental and the tool pulls its base full backup and every change file in between, in the right order — you never assemble a chain by hand.
