Let's be honest about your backup situation

You're winging it
"I'll set up backups next sprint" — you, 6 months ago
Cloud backups cost more than your database
AWS snapshots: $50/month. Your RDS: $30/month. Math is hard.
You'll "figure it out later"
Until your database goes poof at 2 AM on a Sunday

Your database backup shouldn't cost more than your database.
Plan B is the simple, affordable backup solution built for indie hackers and small teams.

Click. Backup. Done.

Three steps to never lose your data again

1

Connect DB

Point Plan B to your database - we support PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and more

2

Click Backup

One click or schedule automatic backups to your S3/MinIO/Wasabi

3

Restore Anytime

When disaster strikes, restore in minutes, not hours

For CLI lovers

Because sometimes you just want to `planb backup` and get on with your life

# Connect to your database
$ planb connect
# Backup to the cloud
$ planb backup
✓ Backup completed successfully

Two commands. That's it.

No 47-step setup guides. No YAML configs. Just backup your database and move on.

CLI or GUI, your choice

Use the CLI for automation or the web interface for visual management. Both work great.

Pricing that doesn't suck

No hidden fees. No enterprise sales calls. Just simple pricing.

FAQ

How is this different from AWS snapshots?

AWS snapshots cost $0.05/GB/month and are tied to AWS. Plan B costs $1/GB/month (20x cheaper) and works with any S3-compatible storage. Plus, you can self-host the entire thing.

Can I really self-host this?

Yep! The core is 100% open source. Spin it up on your own servers, use your own storage, and pay nothing except your infrastructure costs. The managed service is just for convenience.

What databases do you support?

PostgreSQL (versions 12-17), MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and more. We support all major database types with perfect version compatibility.

How do I know my backups actually work?

We automatically test restore on a sample of backups. Plus, you can test restore anytime with one click. Because untested backups are just expensive hopes and dreams.

Stop gambling with your data

Your next database disaster is just one corrupted disk away. Set up Plan B in 5 minutes.
