## Description

DBackup is a self-hosted backup automation tool that backs up databases and the files that belong to them. It connects directly to databases or runs backup tools over secure shell, then schedules, encrypts, and compresses backups of MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQL Server, MariaDB, Redis, Valkey, SQLite, Firebird, and directories to the storage you choose. It provides retention policies, real-time monitoring, granular access control, and simple restores. Self-hosters use it to keep standard, non-proprietary database dumps and file archives encrypted with open Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)-256-GCM, with a recovery key that lets you restore data even if DBackup is unavailable.
