## Overview

### Key benefits of SafeGrd

\* Protects backups from ransomware and credential-compromise attacks by storing snapshots under S3 Object Lock, making them immutable and undeletable even if storage credentials are leaked.
\* Write-only storage credentials ensure the backup agent and any party obtaining those credentials cannot delete existing snapshots, limiting blast radius from a security incident.
\* Scheduled restore drills automatically verify that backups are recoverable before a disaster occurs, replacing manual spot-checks with continuous, auditable confirmation.
\* Failure alerts notify teams of missed or broken backup runs, catching gaps that cron-based solutions would silently ignore.
\* Init command verifies Object Lock status on the target bucket before the first backup, catching misconfigured buckets at setup rather than at recovery time.
\* Doctor command audits bucket lock configuration and credential permissions on enrolled hosts, providing ongoing infrastructure health checks.
\* Export command copies snapshots to a second bucket, encrypted and locked, supporting cross-region and cross-provider redundancy for additional data durability.
\* Backup encryption protects data at rest across all supported sources: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, files, and mail.
\* Deployable via install script or container image, fitting into existing self-hosted and cloud platform workflows on Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Fly.io, Render, Railway, Supabase, Neon, Heroku, Coolify, and Amazon RDS.
\* AI agents, Threat Shield, and backup controls extend the platform with additional automation and security management capabilities.

Deployable via an install script or as a container image from ghcr.io/safegrd/cli, the daemon targets developers and engineering teams running workloads on cloud and self-hosted platforms including Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Fly.io, Render, Railway, Supabase, Neon, Heroku, Coolify, and Amazon RDS. Supported data sources include PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, file systems, and mail.\n\nBackups are written under S3 Object Lock using write-only storage credentials, meaning the backup agent cannot delete its own snapshots, and neither can an attacker who obtains those credentials. An init command verifies Object Lock status on the target bucket before the first backup runs, and a doctor command audits bucket lock configuration and credential permissions on enrolled hosts, catching misconfigured infrastructure before it becomes a liability. An export command copies snapshots to a second bucket, encrypted and locked, supporting cross-region and cross-provider redundancy strategies.\n\nSafeGrd addresses a critical gap in cron-based backup approaches: verification. Scheduled restore drills automatically confirm that stored backups are actually recoverable, and failure alerts notify teams of missed or broken backup runs. Additional capabilities include AI agents, Threat Shield, and backup controls. Together these features give teams auditable confidence in backup integrity and recoverability without relying on manual spot-checks.","image":"https://images.g2crowd.com/display-layer-screenshots/2148420/51da97350bebcc9170f383fb8852227c3b1e924f8accefb76495b638fd375d48.webp","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2379106/safegrd","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2379106/safegrd#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/2379106/safegrd#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Backup Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/496/backup/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"SafeGrd","position":3,"item":"/software/2379106/safegrd","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
