The Problem

Homelab and small business operators struggle to build reliable backup pipelines across heterogeneous environments — NAS, VPS, Docker containers, and cloud storage — using disconnected tools with no unified visibility. Silent backup corruption (as seen with Duplicati) means users often discover failures only when attempting a restore. Manually verifying backup integrity, testing disaster recovery, and maintaining 3-2-1 compliance across multiple targets is too complex for most operators without enterprise tooling.

Potential Solution

A SaaS-connected agent installed on-premise that discovers backup targets (ZFS datasets, Docker volumes, Proxmox VMs, NAS shares), orchestrates backup jobs via restic or similar reliable engines, and continuously runs automated restore-and-verify tests in the background. A web dashboard surfaces real-time health scores, 3-2-1 compliance status, storage deduplication stats, and alerting (email, Telegram, webhook) — replacing the patchwork of cron jobs, shell scripts, and manual checks that operators currently rely on.

Why Now?

The explosion of affordable VPS deals, Proxmox adoption, and Docker-based homelabs has created a large technically-capable but infrastructure-overloaded user base that demands enterprise-grade reliability without enterprise complexity. High-profile data loss incidents and growing awareness of silent backup corruption have made backup verification — not just backup creation — a first-class concern.
