    Creator here. I was looking for something as simple as Backblaze Personal [1] but privacy focused and open source. This is my attempt to build that. Uses PyQt6 [2] for the GUI and Pyinstaller [3] for creating the platform specific binaries. The backup engine under the hood is Restic [4]. The server code is written in Laravel [5].

Link: https://bvckup2.com I thought I'd do a Show HN for two reasons. 1. I obviously want to show my baby to those who haven't seen it. Its primary purpose is to do very fast file replication. If you are familiar with "robocopy /mir" - same idea, but on steroids. Lots of them. It can be used for both mirroring and archiving backups, among other things. It is light, very small and it is really quite fast. Half of the…

    I’m working on Portabase, a self-hosted, open-source tool for managing database backups and restores. It currently supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, with MongoDB coming soon. It uses an agent-based architecture with a central server and lightweight agents, enabling deployment at the edge and operation across multiple networks.
