PG Back Web is a self-hosted web application for managing PostgreSQL backups through an intuitive browser-based interface. It automates backup creation using PostgreSQL tools and helps teams monitor, store, download, and restore backups reliably.

Key Features

  • Web interface to configure databases, destinations, and backup jobs
  • Scheduled backups with status tracking and execution logs
  • One-click download and restore operations from the UI
  • Supports multiple PostgreSQL versions (13 and newer)
  • Local filesystem storage and multiple S3-compatible destinations
  • Webhook notifications for backup and health-check events
  • PGP-based encryption for protecting sensitive data
  • Built-in health checks for databases and backup destinations

Use Cases

  • Automating routine PostgreSQL backups for small teams and homelabs
  • Managing backups across multiple PostgreSQL instances from a single UI
  • Storing encrypted backups offsite in S3-compatible object storage

PG Back Web provides a practical, low-friction way to operationalize PostgreSQL backups without building custom scripts. It is well suited for users who want scheduling, visibility, and restores in a single lightweight service.
