Stop guessing. Start verifying.

Next-Generation Database Backups with AI-Verified Restores.

A smarter alternative to traditional backup agents. BackupAgent secures your databases to any cloud and automatically tests every restore in an isolated sandbox, so you never have to guess if your data is safe.

No credit card required 5-minute setup Works on any server

How It Works

Three simple steps — no DevOps expertise required. If you can copy-paste a command, you can set up production-grade backups.

Step 1

Install the Agent

One command installs a lightweight binary on Linux or Windows. No Docker required, no complex dependencies. Works on bare metal, VMs, or cloud instances.

curl -fsSL get.backupagent.ai | sh

Step 2

Schedule & Ship

Define your backup jobs in a simple YAML config. BackupAgent compresses, encrypts, and ships to S3, Azure Blob, GCS, or any S3-compatible storage.

Step 3

AI Sandbox Verification

Every backup is automatically restored in an isolated Docker container. AI checks row counts, schema integrity, and runs your custom queries. You get proof, not promises.

Features

Production-grade backup confidence built for teams of all sizes — from solo developers to enterprise operations.

Multi-Engine Backup Support

Scheduled backups for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server — all from a single agent. One config file, all your databases covered.

Zero-Config Restore Testing

Stop doing manual disaster recovery drills. Every backup is restored in an ephemeral Docker container and validated automatically — zero human intervention needed.

Smart Anomaly Detection

AI flags ransomware patterns, sudden size changes, missing tables, or silent corruption before shipping to storage. Catch problems before they become disasters.

Developer-Friendly Alerting

Get concise Slack and Discord summaries of verified restores, anomaly warnings, and backup health — not noisy cron logs that everyone ignores.

Non-Technical Friendly

No command-line expertise needed. Our guided setup, visual dashboard, and plain-English notifications make database backups accessible to anyone on your team.

One-Click Integrations

Connect to AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, or any S3-compatible endpoint. Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, and email alerts built in. Set up in minutes, not days.

Alerts That Actually Matter

Get actionable Slack summaries and email alerts — not walls of cron output nobody reads.
