We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new feature that simplifies database backups for developers and teams leveraging Docker!

With this update, you can now back up databases inside Docker containers directly from your host.

What’s New?

Our Docker Database Backup feature allows you to:

  1. Back Up Databases Without Exposing Access: No need to configure external access to your containerized databases. Simply connect to your Docker host, and you’re ready to go.

  2. Seamless Integration: Back up MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and more—all from within your containers.

  3. Simple Setup:

    • Connect your Docker host to SimpleBackups.
    • Select your containerized database.
    • Start backing up, just like that!

How It Works

Here’s how you can start using the Docker Database Backup feature in just a few steps:

  1. Connect Your Host Server: Link your Docker host to SimpleBackups using our straightforward setup.
