No storage bill from us

You pay us once for the software — never for gigabytes. Point a job at a folder on your own PC or NAS and the storage costs nothing at all. Prefer the cloud? Use your own Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, MinIO or OneDrive account and pay their rate directly, with no markup in between. Back up 10 GB or 10 TB — the price of the software does not move.

Your database never passes through us

This Postgresql backup and restore tool is a desktop application. It runs on your machine, connects straight to your database and writes the backup straight to the destination you chose. Nothing is uploaded to our servers on the way, so we never hold a copy of your data — and it is encrypted with AES-256 before it leaves, so even the storage provider only ever sees ciphertext.

Your passwords stay on your machine

Database passwords are never written into a configuration file and never sent anywhere. They are kept in the Windows Credential Manager, and the settings file only stores a reference to the entry. If you switch on the optional online monitoring, it reports job status only — name, success or failure, size and duration. Never your data, never your credentials.

Features

Postgres Backup Tool – Amazing Features

Automated Scheduled Backup

Never worry about remembering to backup your database again. Forget about creating backup manually everyday. Simply choose a schedule - every hour, daily, weekly or monthly. The PostgreSQL Backup software will automatically backup up your PostgreSQL database at the specified time. This ensure your data is always protected without requiring manual effort.

Military Grade Encryption Before Upload

Your backup is encrypted on your computer before it is stored or transferred. This means that even if someone gains access to your file or cloud storage, they wo not be able to read your data without the correct encryption key. Every backup is encrypted locally using advanced AES-256 encryption and ensure that only you can access it.

Built in Compression

Large PostgreSQL databases can consume more storage space. The software automatically compresses your backup files while it is being created, reducing file size without slowing down the backup process. Smaller backups use less storage space and can be uploaded or downloaded more quickly and reduces cloud storage costs.

Backup to Any Storage Location

You can save your PostgreSQL backup wherever it works best for you. Store them on your local computer, a network attached device or popular cloud storage devices. Using this flexibility, you can build a backup strategy that fits your environment. You can even send the same backup to multiple locations at once for extra protection.

Smart Backup Retention

Managing old backups manually can be time-consuming and fills your storage. With smart retention policies, you decide how many backups to keep or how long to keep them. The tool automatically removes outdated backups. It helps you to keep your storage organized while ensuring recent backups are always available.

Compatible with Every PostgreSQL Environment

Whether your PostgreSQL database is hosted on your own server or on cloud platform, the tool works without additional configuration. It supports local installations, remote servers and cloud hosted PostgreSQL environments, so you do not have to install or manage different versions yourself. It allows you to use the same backup process everywhere.

Know Instantly When Something Goes Wrong

The PostgreSQL backup tool continuously monitors backup jobs. You will always know the status of your backups. If a backup fails or encounters an issue, you will be notified immediately through logs or alerts. It helps you to resolve the problem before it puts your data at risk.

Credentials Stay Out of Config Files

Your database login details are stored securely instead of being saved in plain text configuration files. This reduces the risk of exposing sensitive credentials from unauthorized access and adds an extra layer of security to your backup environment.

Not Just PostgreSQL

If you manage multiple database systems, you do not need separate backup solutions for each one. The software can also support other database which make it a convenient all-in-one backup solution for different database environments. The same software supports MySQL, MongoDB, and MariDB.

Why use it

Why Use PostgreSQL Backup Tool

1. Developer Accidently Drops a Production Table

Accidental Data Deletion like "Drop Table users;" is probably the worst mistake you could have made while working with databases. This will wipe out your precious production data. If there is no recent backup, recovering the lost data becomes difficult. A dedicated PostgreSQL backup software ensures that your database is backed up regularly either automatically or on a schedule basis. You can recover the deleted table and its records from backup file.

2. Your Restore Script Is Broken by a PostgreSQL Version Upgrade

New features and improved performance have been added to Postgres Backup Solution. However, if you upgrade your PostgreSQL server, older backup scripts might not always function correctly. Restoring a backup from earlier version to new PostgreSQL environment may result in errors. In these circumstances, the PostgreSQL backup solution simplifies matters and ensures that your backups will remain valuable for future recovery.

3. Ransomware Encrypt Database Servers

When a cyberattack gains access to your server, it might encrypt everything, including your local backups and production databases. This presents a single point of failure for you if you store all your backups on the same system. PostgreSQL database backup tool stores encrypted data in offsite cloud storage while maintaining unchangeable backup copies to avoid this risk.

4. Production Database Crashes During Peak Traffic

When high-traffic systems such as e-commerce platforms encounter unexpected database crashes during high-peak times (such as sales events), manual restoration procedures could take hours to complete instead of minutes, causing huge revenue loss for businesses. Automated scheduling built into PostgreSQL backup software ensures that downtimes caused due to crash don't disrupt daily operations long enough.

5. Audit or Compliance Requires Backup Proof

Data is crucial for Fintech, Healthcare and SaaS companies. These industries are subject to specific rules set by the government or regulatory authorities that must be follow. Simply stating we take backups is not enough. These companies must also demonstrate that backups are performed at specific intervals (daily, weekly, etc.), process completed successfully and proper records of the backup process exist. Structured reporting and verification logs are not offered by manual scripts. This backup tool generates reports on your backup status including verification logs giving companies peace-of-mind knowing they are compliant without having complicated scripts laying around.

6. Need for Additional Security Layer

While there are several good database-as-a-service solutions on the market—like Amazon Web services RDS or Neon's server-less databases—all have some kind of built-in backup mechanism. But many only offer basic levels of backup with very limited retention time or control. You can create multi-layer backup plans by adding an additional layer of security with a dedicated backup solution. It gives businesses more flexibility, longer retention, and better recovery options than native cloud backup.
