Introduction
The simple solution to secure and backup your data.
Welcome to Portabase
Portabase is the solution designed to simplify the backup and management of your databases.
We know that managing backups manually is risky and tedious. Portabase automates this process by installing smart connectors (Agents) on your servers. These agents handle everything: they secure your data and send it to your preferred storage spaces, without requiring advanced technical skills.
Simplicity First
No more writing complex scripts. Portabase connects your servers to a unique dashboard for serene data management.

How it works?
The ecosystem relies on three simple elements:
The Dashboard
The web interface to control your backups, view history, and restore your data if needed.
The Agent
The connector that installs on your servers. It works in the background to protect your databases.
The Assistant (CLI)
A simple tool to run on your computer to install and configure your agents in seconds.
