- **Dark & light themes**: Choose the look that suits your workflow
- **Mobile adaptive**: Check your backups from anywhere on any device
### ☁️ **Works with self-hosted & cloud databases**
### 🔌 **Connection types**
Databasus works seamlessly with both self-hosted PostgreSQL and cloud-managed databases:
- **Remote** — Databasus connects directly to the database over the network (recommended in read-only mode). No agent or additional software required. Works with cloud-managed and self-hosted databases
- **Agent** — A lightweight Databasus agent (written in Go) runs alongside the database. The agent streams backups directly to Databasus, so the database never needs to be exposed publicly. Supports host-installed databases and Docker containers
- **Cloud support**: AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- **Self-hosted**: Any PostgreSQL instance you manage yourself
- **Why no PITR support?**: Cloud providers already offer native PITR, and external PITR backups cannot be restored to managed cloud databases — making them impractical for cloud-hosted PostgreSQL
- **Practical granularity**: Hourly and daily backups are sufficient for 99% of projects without the operational complexity of WAL archiving
### 📦 **Backup types**
- **Logical** — Native dump of the database in its engine-specific binary format. Compressed and streamed directly to storage with no intermediate files
- **Physical** — File-level copy of the entire database cluster. Faster backup and restore for large datasets compared to logical dumps (requires agent)
- **Incremental** — Physical base backup combined with continuous WAL segment archiving. Enables Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) — restore to any second between backups. Designed for disaster recovery and near-zero data loss requirements (requires agent)
