I’ve been using Portabase, an open-source tool for managing database backups and restores. It’s cron-based and supports three different retention strategies, which works well for logical backups (no PITR yet, but sufficient for me since I run self-hosted services with small to moderate-sized databases).

Currently, storage options are limited to local filesystem and S3-compatible storage—again, sufficient for my use case.

The new v1.1.10 release adds several notification connectors like Discord, ntfy (best open-source tool for push notification!), and generic webhooks, making it easier to keep an eye on backups.

For anyone looking for a simple, self-hosted backup solution without heavy dependencies or complex setup, this is worth checking out (the docs include a ready-to-go Docker Compose setup).
