LESS ADMIN. MORE PEACE OF MIND.

One backup job. More than one safe place.

DBack brings scheduling, storage and monitoring into one native SwiftUI app. Connect a MySQL server, select a database and decide where your backups should go.

Send the same job to multiple destinations simultaneously. Keep a local copy, use your S3-compatible storage and deliver to a remote server, all from one configuration.

Quietly working. Keeping you informed.

A schedule that suits you

Run backups hourly, daily or weekly. DBack handles scheduled work in the background, so routine protection does not depend on remembering a manual export.

Storage on your terms

Choose Amazon S3, S3-compatible providers, SFTP, FTP or a local folder. Configure multiple destinations for the same backup job.

Compressed MySQL backups

Create backups using mysqldump and gzip compression. Required MySQL tools are downloaded automatically on first run to simplify getting started.

Know when attention is needed

Receive job failure notifications through Slack, Discord or email. Alerts help you respond when a scheduled backup does not complete as expected.

Connection health monitoring

Check database connectivity at a configurable interval and receive an alert when a server becomes unreachable. Keep an eye on availability alongside backups.

Credentials in Keychain

Database and destination credentials are stored in macOS Keychain. DBack runs without accounts, telemetry, analytics or crash tracking.
