SqlBak
SqlBak automates database backups and provides a web service for managing backups from multiple servers. It lists support for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Azure SQL, Amazon RDS for SQL Server, and MongoDB. Destinations include Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, S3-compatible storage, Backblaze B2, Box, Wasabi, Google Cloud, Aruba Cloud, Yandex Disk, FTP, local or network folders, and SSH. SQL Server tools include point-in-time recovery, full, differential, and transaction-log backups, automatic verification, compression, health monitoring, and one-click restore. The app runs as a background service on Windows or Linux servers; Docker and Raspberry Pi installation are also described. SqlBak says backups are encrypted and sent directly from the server to the user's storage, while database credentials are encrypted and kept on the server. The Free plan covers one server, two databases, and one month of backup history. Standard costs $6 a month per server, and Professional costs $9 a month per server. A 30-day trial of Professional features requires no credit card to start.
