• Lightweight deployment - Runs on minimal hardware (50MB idle memory) via Docker or standalone executable on any operating system
• Real-time monitoring - Track backup progress, access detailed logs, and receive instant notifications via Slack, Discord, email, or push notifications
• Flexible restoration - Browse backup snapshots like a file manager, restore entire snapshots or specific files, or download as TAR archives

• Advanced automation - Execute custom scripts before or after backups for database dumps or system maintenance
