The Problem
Self-hosters and homelab operators cobble together fragile backup systems from multiple tools—a backup client, cron jobs or systemd timers, shell scripts for database dumps, and separate monitoring via healthchecks or Telegram. This patchwork breaks silently, leads to forgotten or untested backups, and offers no unified view across Docker containers, VMs, NAS volumes, and databases. Most users admit their strategy is essentially 'hoping nothing breaks.'
Potential Solution
A single web-based tool that auto-discovers Docker containers, Proxmox VMs, databases, and NAS volumes, then configures and orchestrates backups using proven engines (Restic, Borg, Kopia) under the hood. It handles scheduling, database-aware dumps, multi-destination routing (local + cloud for 3-2-1 compliance), automated restore testing, and real-time failure alerting—replacing the duct-tape of scripts, timers, and separate monitoring services.
Why Now?
The explosion of Docker-based self-hosting and affordable Proxmox homelabs has created a massive wave of users running critical services without production-grade backup infrastructure. Tools like Vykar signal market demand for consolidation, but no turnkey solution yet unifies discovery, orchestration, verification, and monitoring across the full self-hosted stack.
