Built this after a 3AM disaster where our "good" PostgreSQL backup was corrupted during a critical migration. 6 hours of panic could have been prevented with proper validation.
BackupGuardian validates database backups BEFORE you need them:
• Detects corruption that basic file checks miss
• Catches SQL syntax errors and transaction integrity issues
• Validates schema consistency and encoding problems
• Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite
Two ways to use it:
• Web app: Upload backups up to 100MB, get detailed validation reports
• CLI: npm install -g backup-guardian (perfect for CI/CD pipelines)
Key features:
• Open source and self-hostable
• Handles files of any size via CLI
• Generates PDF/JSON reports
• Zero vendor lock-in
Perfect for DevOps teams who want to catch backup issues before they become production disasters. Integrates easily into deployment pipelines.
Try the demo with sample corrupt backups, or validate your own backups right now.
