Database Vault vs DBAegis

Database Vault is a cloud service for automating database backups and restoring earlier snapshots. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, and Supabase; the supported-database list also includes SQLite. Backup schedules can be hourly, daily, weekly, or custom. Users can review backup history and restore a point-in-time snapshot, including through a one-click restore to a new database. The service monitors failures, retries automatically, and provides notifications and operation logs. Its dashboard tracks backup frequency, storage use, and success rates. Database Vault says backups are encrypted with AES-256 before storage and connection strings are encrypted at rest and never logged. It runs on Google Cloud Platform infrastructure, which it describes as SOC 2 Type II certified, and advertises a 99.9% uptime SLA for backup operations. The Free plan includes 1 GB of storage and 7-day retention. Starter costs $9 a month and supports up to three databases; Pro costs $15 a month and supports up to ten. Backups remain accessible for 30 days after cancellation.

DBAegis is a self-hosted database resilience platform for coordinating backup management, restore workflows, recovery validation, storage destinations, notifications, reports, and audit visibility. It provides a web interface and API; the Community installation guide describes deployment on a dedicated Linux virtual machine. The free Community plan supports local logical backup and restore workflows for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, with one admin, three connections, three schedules, and DBAegis-local storage. The published support matrix lists 18 database engines, with broader coverage requiring Professional or Enterprise entitlements. Professional lists local, database-server-local, AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Storage destinations, as well as role-based access control, MFA, email notifications, and daily summaries. Enterprise adds LDAP or Active Directory integration, webhooks, and report exports. Restore safeguards include dry-run validation, reason capture, password re-authorization, typed confirmation for high-risk actions, and audit fields. ILOGICSOFT makes DBAegis and describes it as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, database-native and provider-native recovery capabilities.
