Postgresus is a PostgreSQL backup automation tool that simplifies protecting critical databases by letting DBAs schedule regular backups and store copies locally or in cloud destinations. It combines reliable operation with strong security controls and observable health signals, reducing data loss risk and operational toil.
Key features include:
- Scheduled backups: Automate backups on a configurable schedule to local drives or cloud destinations, with retention policies, calendar-based automation, and easy restore options.
- Health checks: Built-in checks that validate backup integrity and completeness, with proactive status reporting and retries to minimize data gaps.
- Storage destinations: Flexible destinations including local storage and cloud backends (S3-compatible, Google Drive, and other targets) to ensure redundancy and simplify disaster recovery.
- Notifications: Real-time alerts via Slack, Discord, Telegram, email, or webhooks when backups succeed, fail, or become unhealthy; includes summarized status reports.
- Security and access management: AES-256 encryption for data at rest, fine-grained access controls, and audit logs to track all backup activity and meet compliance needs.
By unifying automated backups, integrity checks, and clear visibility into backup health, Postgresus helps teams meet uptime goals and compliance requirements while reducing manual toil.
