    Reliable PostgreSQL Backup & Restore

    Reliable PostgreSQL Backup & Restore

    Reliable PostgreSQL backup and restore

    pgBackRest aims to be a reliable, easy-to-use backup and restore solution that can seamlessly scale up to the largest databases and workloads by utilizing algorithms that are optimized for database-specific requirements. Compression is usually the bottleneck during backup operations but, even with now-ubiquitous multi-core servers, most database backup solutions are still single-process. pgBackRest solves the compression bottleneck with parallel processing. Utilizing multiple cores for compression makes it possible to achieve 1TB/hr raw throughput even on a 1Gb/s link. More cores and a larger pipe lead to even higher throughput. A custom protocol allows pgBackRest to backup, restore, and archive locally or remotely via TLS/SSH with minimal configuration. An interface to query PostgreSQL is also provided via the protocol layer so that remote access to PostgreSQL is never required, which enhances security.

    ZeroByte

    ZeroByte

    Backup automation for self-hosters

    ZeroByte is a self-hosted backup automation platform built around the robust Restic backup engine, delivering encrypted, compressed, and schedulable data protection with a modern web interface. It targets self-hosting enthusiasts, homelab operators, and small teams who need a straightforward way to manage backups across diverse storage backends without resorting to complex scripts or CLI-only tools. Zerobyte lets you configure automated jobs with flexible schedules and retention policies, monitor backup jobs through a centralized dashboard, and choose from multiple source types (like local directories, NFS, SMB, WebDAV, and more), all while ensuring end-to-end encryption via Restic underneath. The system also supports common remote destinations such as S3-compatible storage or REST servers and encapsulates much of the complexity of backup logic so users can focus on reliability and restore confidence rather than manual orchestration.

    PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

    Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

    Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

    m23

    m23

    Your linux deployment tool!

    m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.
