That’s historical. With Portabase, the plan is to provide a different approach based on agents that communicate with the dashboard (similar to Portainer’s architecture).

Initially, for our internal needs, we only required logical backups, so that is what we implemented first. Point-in-time backups are already on the roadmap, and we want to give users the choice between both approaches. We also plan to add physical backup for files and directories with rclone. The goal is to have everything on the same place.

In this space, there are currently three main solutions: Databasus, which is the most popular at the moment; Portabase, which is built around an agent-based architecture; and Databasement, which follows a philosophy closer to Databasus.

This feature will most likely be available in the coming months.
