Features:

• End-To-End encryption using GNU Privacy Guard, you can store your backups on a remote server that will not know what you store
• Natively sends backups to Backup Repository server, or stores into files
• Backups made with just a one simple command bahub :backup:make my-db
• Restoring is as simple as backup bahub :backup:restore my-db
• Does not require additional disk space to store backup, the backup is done on-the-fly
• Natively supports Docker, including databases running in Docker
• Understands what is to back up by using native methods such as mysqldump, pg_dump and others depending on what application is it
• Supports "offline backup" of Docker containers by turning them off, then copying the data
• Slack/Mattermost notifications about successes and failures
• Errors monitoring with Sentry.io support

Abstract architecture:

• Adapters like mysql, postgres_dump, filesystem are defining how to properly do your backup, there can be many more adapters, even made by external people all around the world
• Transports: We support executing backup in sh (local shell), docker (docker container), temporarydocker (offline, copying files of other docker container), but feel free to write your own transport or use transport written by other people. There are many possibilities such as enabling SSH, Kubernetes, ECS and more.

Extensible:

• Although we do not support currently Kubernetes or remote backups via SSH it does not mean that it is impossible - Bahub is extensible, everyone can write an adapter that will enable Kubernetes, ECS, SSH or any other transport that can run commands and return output
• Bahub can use backup adapters and command transports that are placed in other Python packages, so any unofficial adapters and transports are easily pluggable!

Requirements

• Linux machine when installed directly on host machine, any other os if running on Docker (including Windows)
• Python 3.9 (if you cannot afford to install it on your old CentOS, then use Docker)
• MySQL client tools (if going to backup & restore MySQL databases)
• PostgreSQL client tools (if going to backup & restore PostgreSQL databases)
• GNU tar
• GNU Privacy Guard 2.x (mandatory, for E2E encryption support. There is no way to turn off encryption)

Installing

a) via Python package (on host machine)

pip install bahub

b) via Docker (in a container)
