The Problem
Self-hosters running dozens of Docker containers and VMs struggle to maintain reliable, consistent backup strategies. Manual scripts are fragile, hard to verify, and require significant expertise to configure correctly across different backup tools like Restic, Borg, rclone, and Duplicati. Most users end up with ad-hoc solutions they don't fully trust until something goes wrong.
Potential Solution
A unified backup orchestration layer that auto-discovers Docker volumes and Proxmox VMs, generates pre-configured backup pipelines for popular backends (Restic, Borg, rclone), and continuously verifies restore integrity. The tool handles container pause/resume sequencing, deduplication, offsite sync, and sends health alerts — turning a fragile shell script into a production-grade system.
Why Now?
The self-hosting movement has exploded with tools like Proxmox, Unraid, and Docker Compose making home lab infrastructure accessible to non-experts who lack the ops background to build robust DR strategies. Demand for 'set it and forget it' backup reliability is at an all-time high.

I got sick of AWS S3 egress fees and 5TB limits, so I built a storage system with $0 BOM cost and It holds 5 Exabytes per instance.
Hey everyone, I’m Adarius, founder of Vader Technologies. I’ve been watching AI startups and creative platforms bleed cash because of three things: massive duplicate file uploads, version mismatches across devices, and skyrocketing S3 compute/egress costs just to keep their workspaces from lagging. The current infrastructure is basically a tax on inefficiency. So I built something else entirely. I call it VAULT 33. It’s a fully digital, invisible storage system that operates without a traditional database. 1. Zero Duplication Ingestion: Data is ingested once. If a user uploads the same file or link, it creates an automatic reference instead of duplicating the data. Compute costs drop instantly. 2. No Artificial Limits: Instead of capping users at 100GB or 5TB, one instance has an effective capacity of 5 Exabytes. 3. Instant Reproduction: It uses bit-perfect reproduction, meaning zero data loss and perfect sync across devices without version mismatches. 4. Transportable: The entire vault can be exported as a single compact artifact, moved anywhere (cloud, edge, air-gapped), and deployed in under 60 seconds. I’m currently looking for my first pilot partner (a startup dealing with heavy storage/egress pain) to license it for a 90-day test run to prove the cost savings in a live environment. Reach out!
What do you think about JuiceFS? Use cloud S3 Object Storage as local storage
I tried it and was fascinated by it. Incredibly fast, and very practical in many real-world scenarios.
