Point CalmBackup at any file, folder, or database — Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB and friends are auto-detected. Everything is sealed with a key only you hold before it leaves your machine. Then a calm weekly email, and nothing else.
Pipe it into a cron job, or sit inside a live dashboard in your terminal. Same binary.
Three small decisions, then CalmBackup does the worrying. Encrypted before it leaves your machine, verified after it lands — you only hear from us when something actually needs a human.
A source is one project — its database and the folders that go with it. CalmBackup snapshots them together, so restores line up exactly the way your app expects.
Add as many sources as you run. Point-and-click, no cron syntax, no YAML if you don't want it.
Every file, folder, and database you point us at is sealed with AES-256-GCM on your machine, using a key only you hold. We move ciphertext. We store ciphertext. We can't read it — even if we wanted to, even if someone compelled us, even if our database walked out the door.
No daily "backup succeeded" pings. One calm Sunday email with the week at a glance. A real notification only when something actually needs your attention — and more often than not, we've already fixed it by the time you read about it.
On average, customers think about backups once every 47 days — usually to recommend us to a friend.
The pieces you'd build yourself if you had a spare weekend every month for the rest of your life.
Every backup is checksum-verified and periodically restored into a scratch sandbox — so you know it actually works.
AES-256 with keys you own. We never see your data in the clear, and we never keep it longer than you say.
Every backup is stored in multiple regions automatically. You choose the redundancy level; we handle the rest. Same price either way.
A weekly calm report. A real email only when something is actually wrong. No noisy daily chirps.
calmbackup restore --to staging and pour a coffee. Point-in-time recovery included.
Every run, every byte, every hash — kept in an append-only log you can export for SOC 2 evidence.
One page, once a week, written like a colleague wrote it. No dashboards to log into, no widgets to configure — just a short, reassuring note that everything was taken care of.
Good morning,
Your backups ran as scheduled this week and everything is safely stored. There is nothing you need to do. This note is just so you know.
We also tested a restore of your Thursday snapshot into a scratch environment. It came back byte-for-byte identical — which means if you ever need it, it will work.
We'll be in touch again next Sunday, or sooner only if something genuinely needs your attention.
With care,
The CalmBackup team
The CLI runs two ways. Non-interactive for cron, CI, and deploy scripts — tidy stdout, exit codes, no surprises. Interactive when a real human needs a live dashboard in the terminal.
No per-GB surprise. No usage panic. You pay by number of sources — everything else is the same across plans.
Yes. After setup, the only touch-point is a weekly email — and only when it's boring. If something's wrong, we'll tell you, and we'll try to fix it before you see it.
Fourteen days on us. No card, no call, no sales email ever. If it doesn't earn its $10 a month, delete the account with one click.
