In their own words
DBAegis
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.
