Hi all,

Some updates on Portabase.

Quick recap: Portabase is an open-source, self-hosted database backup and restore tool. The goal is simple, reliable operations without heavy dependencies. It uses a central server with lightweight agents running close to the databases (e.g. via Portainer), so no need to expose databases to the public network.

We’ve added support for Redis and Valkey (backup only for now). We’re currently working on MSSQL Server support (first release coming soon). If you’ve dealt with MSSQL backups/restores in production, any pitfalls or best practices worth knowing? Especially around consistency, large datasets, or edge cases.

On notifications, we already support Mail, ntfy, Gotify, Slack, webhooks, Discord, and Telegram. Any other providers commonly used by self-hosters that would be worth adding?

We’re also planning to improve setup to simplify policy management (default storage, notification providers, retention, etc.), likely with an onboarding flow. Feedback on that approach is welcome.

If you have feature requests, open an issue on GitHub or start a discussion. We’ll feed it into the roadmap.

Open to feedback
