Show HN: Databasus – open-source backup tool for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB (databasus.com)

10 points by rostislav_dugin 6mo ago ↗ HN

I had a post in the start of December about Postgresus 2.0: self hosted tool for PostgreSQL. Since then the project changed the name and added support of other databases: MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB.

Website - https://databasus.com

GitHub - https://github.com/databasus/databasus

Main features:

- Scheduled backups for multiple PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB databases

- Storage to S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Drive, Azure Blob, NAS, SFTP, rclone, etc.

- Notifications about backup status via email, Telegram, Slack, Discord, MS Teams and customizable webhooks

- Works with both self-hosted and managed PostgreSQL (RDS, Cloud SQL, etc.)

- Runs as a single Docker container or via Helm on Kubernetes, can be installed via script

- There are workspaces and role-based access with audit logs

Nice to see the project evolving beyond PostgreSQL. How does Databasus compare architecturally to tools like pgBackRest or WAL-G for Postgres, or to mysqldump-based solutions for MySQL? In particular, how do these differences affect performance and reliability for backups and restores?

Wanted something simple like this, but, this seems to place a hard requirement that database to import to should be empty before a restore.

does this do point-in-time recovery? tried like 3 postgres backup tools, they all claim to support it but then you actually need to restore and it's a mess
