Rested
Postgres backup workflow

Recipe-aware Postgres backups for Linux hosts.

Rested helps you schedule encrypted Postgres backups, see run history, and keep restore work close to your database backup setup. Docker Postgres support is in beta.

Docker Postgres workflow, clearly labeled beta.

Recovery key stays with you.

History appears after real backups run.

example database backup setup

Built around practical Postgres recovery

The aim is a clear path from database backup to encrypted storage to restore.

Recipe beta
Choose the database
Define the Postgres database, dump mode, schedule, retention, and storage destination.
Agent-based
Connect the host
Connect the Linux machine that can reach the database and run the backup.
Encrypted
Store encrypted backups
Database dumps are meant to be stored as encrypted backup data in your configured storage.
Controlled
Restore with context
Keep backup history and recovery actions close together so restore work is easier to reason about.

Backup visibility without owning your database

Rested makes Postgres backup work visible without pretending the web app should unlock your backups.

Backup files skip the web app
Rested is designed around the host writing encrypted backup data to storage.
You keep the recovery key
The key needed to unlock encrypted backup data should stay with you.
Database-focused actions
The Postgres workflow should stay focused on backup and restore, not a general-purpose remote terminal.
Real history after setup
Postgres run history appears after the database host starts reporting backup results.

Good to know

Postgres backup reliability depends on database access, storage, schedules, and tested restores.

Beta
Postgres dump automation
Docker Postgres backup support is beta while the workflow is tightened.
Narrow
General database coverage
This page is about Postgres. It does not claim MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, or every managed Postgres topology is supported.
Open
Storage setup breadth
Storage setup should be clear before scheduled database backups are trusted.
Principle
Example status
The status card is illustrative; the app shows real backup history after setup.

Start with one Postgres backup and prove the restore path.

Connect the database host, run a backup, and keep recovery points visible before you need them.
