The Problem

Self-hosters running dozens of Docker containers struggle to reliably back up volumes, bind mounts, databases, and compose files. Current approaches rely on fragile custom scripts that stop containers one-by-one, feel manual and unprofessional, and lack centralized management across multiple hosts.

Potential Solution

A lightweight Docker-native backup tool that automatically discovers running containers, performs live or consistent snapshots of volumes and bind mounts without downtime, and pushes encrypted backups to local or cloud storage. It includes a web dashboard for scheduling, monitoring backup health across multiple hosts, and performing one-click restores of individual services or entire stacks.

Why Now?

Self-hosting is surging as users move away from SaaS subscriptions for privacy and cost reasons, and container counts per homelab are growing rapidly. Existing backup tools were not designed for Docker-first workflows, leaving a clear gap as the community scales beyond simple setups.
