Portabase adds Docker volume backup and restore
Portabase now backs up and restores . Portabase is an backup and restore tool for people who run their own servers, and it already supports 9 databases, including , MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis. The new Docker volume support matters because many apps keep important data outside the database.
That can include WordPress uploads, Nextcloud user files, media libraries, app settings, and other files stored by services running in Docker. Portabase uses one central server to manage backups, with small agents running close to the services being protected. The goal is to make backup and restore easier to run and less fragile.
Portabase is looking for feedback on real restore workflows, useful Docker , and unusual cases that should be handled early.
