BackupX

BackupX is a self-hosted server backup management platform. One static binary, one command, and every backup job for every server is under control.

  • Single binary + embedded SQLite — no external database or orchestrator required
  • Files, databases, SAP HANA — in one place, with a visual scheduler
  • 70+ storage backends — Alibaba OSS, Tencent COS, Qiniu, S3, Google Drive, WebDAV, FTP, plus SFTP / Azure Blob / Dropbox / OneDrive and dozens more via rclone
  • Multi-node cluster — Master-Agent mode manages backups across servers, agents run tasks locally and upload straight to storage
  • Secure by default — JWT auth, bcrypt, AES-256-GCM encrypted config, optional backup encryption, full audit log

[70+ Storage Backends]

Tasks routed to the local Master run in-process; tasks assigned to remote nodes are dispatched through a command queue and executed by the Agent locally. Agents only ever initiate outbound HTTP — no reverse connectivity required.
