Visit SimpleBackups

SimpleBackups is a backup automation service that lets teams configure, schedule, monitor, and restore backups for servers, databases, cloud storage, and SaaS applications from a single dashboard. It covers MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis databases, whether self-hosted or database-as-a-service, along with server and folder backups, cloud storage replication, and SaaS apps such as GitLab, Linear, Notion, and Knack.

The platform provides flexible scheduling including grandfather-father-son strategies, monitoring with anomaly detection and alerts, one-click or custom restore, multi-storage destinations, and an API for automating backup setup and triggers. Backups are encrypted with AES-256, and the service works behind firewalls and NAT gateways without open ports. Team features include per-user access control, project-based dashboards, and shareable status pages.

SimpleBackups is aimed at developers, agencies, SaaS startups, and enterprises. It offers a free Basic plan, monthly or yearly paid editions (Lite, Plus, Max) with trial options, add-ons for additional backup jobs, storage, bandwidth, and repositories, and custom Enterprise contracts with SSO, SLAs, and compliance support.
