How does the free trial work?

Starter is free for 14 days. Your card is charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel before then in Settings → Billing, and then you pay nothing.

How is storage measured?

Storage is measured on the compressed and encrypted size of your backups, never your database's size. Most databases compress to a fraction of what they take on disk.

What happens when I use more storage?

Backups keep running. Storage beyond your plan's included amount is billed on the billing period's peak, rounded up to the next whole GB: $0.10 per GB on Starter and $0.08 on Pro. Set a spending cap and new backups pause when it is reached, so you are never billed past it.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade in Settings → Billing. Limits change with the plan: after a downgrade, schedules run no more often than the new plan allows and backups past its retention are deleted.

What if I stop paying?

The workspace becomes read-only: new backups stop, and every backup you already have stays available to download and restore.

Open-source CLI tool for backing up databases before migrations, checking backup health, and restoring on your own machine with your own encryption key.

Overview

Screenshot of the backupd homepage — What backupd.dev looks like

backupd is an open-source CLI tool that helps teams back up databases safely and verify they can be restored. It runs on macOS, Linux, Windows or as an npm package, supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB and Convex databases.

The tool is designed for three main use cases: taking a fresh backup before every migration in CI pipelines, running scheduled checks to ensure databases have recent backups, and restoring production backups into staging environments for testing. Backups are encrypted to your own key using the age encryption standard, and backups are encrypted during upload and storage so backupd itself cannot access them.

Every backup is automatically tested by restoring it into a temporary sandbox database and verifying table counts match. The CLI integrates with CI/CD pipelines through exit codes and JSON output, and can be invoked via a standalone binary, npm package, or shell script.
