One line through DBackup's releases and plans. Looking back on the left, ahead on the right. No promised dates, just an honest status.
NowBigger features and community milestones, newest first. Every release is in the changelog.
Planned work first, then ideas nobody has committed to yet. Filter by area.
Every page is rebuilt in a new design that also works on phones and tablets, with a search across all jobs, connections, backups and runs. New pages for the backups, the databases and the history of each run, a Quick Setup that adds the first backup in one place, and notification emails in the same look.
Restore or download one database out of a multi-database backup, reading only that database from the destination. Old execution logs and history entries can be cleaned up automatically, and Settings shows and optimizes the size of the DBackup database.
DBackup crossed 300 stars on GitHub, thanks to everyone in the community.
Azure SQL Database as a new source in beta, backed up through a BACPAC export, plus an hourly tier for Smart (GFS) retention policies.
Docker volumes as a backup source (beta), listed from the target host the way databases already are, so you pick them instead of typing paths. Containers using a selected volume are stopped for the export and started again afterwards, which you can turn off per source when the data is safe to copy live.
Directory and file sources with a seekable, per-entry encrypted archive format, incremental backup chains, byte-range restores, and a completely rebuilt Recovery Kit.
DBackup crossed 200 stars on GitHub, thanks to everyone in the community.
Firebird (3.x/4.x/5.x) as a supported database source, with direct and SSH connection modes.
Valkey as a database source, using the same RDB backup mechanism as Redis.
Reusable, per-channel, event-filtered notification templates replacing flat per-job notification config.
SHA-256/MD5 checksums, on-demand Verify Now, native checksum verification across adapters, and scheduled integrity checks.
Credential vault profiles extended to WEBHOOK, OAUTH, and TOKEN types.
An engine-version timeline and change log per database source.
A table/data viewer with pagination, search, and schema inspection across all adapters.
A dedicated Templates page with reusable Retention Policies, Naming Templates, and Schedule Presets, assignable across jobs.
DBackup crossed 100 stars on GitHub.
Centralized, encrypted Credential Profiles that adapters reference instead of storing secrets inline, plus one-click cloning for sources, destinations, and jobs.
Pipeline-stage tracking with real-time speed and progress for every backup and restore.
Run backups directly on the remote database host via SSH, without a local database client.
Built-in HTTPS with auto-generated certificates by default, plus a Certificate Management UI.
The first stable release, stabilizing the platform after the beta phase.
A small container on the target host that DBackup talks to instead of opening an SSH session, for hosts where SSH access is not an option. Dumps still stream back to DBackup for compression and encryption, so the encryption key and the storage credentials never leave it.
A second kind of job next to backups: keep a target in step with a source on its own schedule. Copy a file or database backup onto another host, or replicate one database into another, without building a backup and restoring it by hand every time.
