Unth Recover
Open sourceApache-2.0 · self-host or cloud

Every backup,
proven by a real restore.

Unth Recover restores each backup into an isolated container, compares data, schema and sequences with the source — and only then calls it VERIFIED. On your servers. Into your storage.

The problem

Most backups are only tested on the day you need them.

A backup file that exists is not a backup you can restore. These failures are silent until it is too late.

The dump finished — almost

A connection drops, a disk fills up, a role is missing. The file is there, the exit code was ignored, and the restore fails halfway.

The restore needs what you forgot

Extensions like postgis, roles, ownership, a newer server version. You only find out on a fresh machine.

The copy is not the backup

Uploads get truncated, buckets get misconfigured, keys get rotated. Nobody downloads the copy again to check.

How it works

From install to VERIFIED in about five minutes.

One small agent on your server. Nothing to open in your firewall, nothing to migrate.

  1. Install the agent

    A single binary: .deb, .rpm, Docker image or the install script. It needs Docker and the PostgreSQL client tools.

  2. Connect it with one command

    Click Add server and run the one-time command. The server signs every request with its own key — no password is stored.

  3. Create a backup job

    Pick the database, a schedule and, if you like, an encrypted offsite copy to your own bucket or Google Drive.

  4. Get proof, not hope

    Every run is restored into a throwaway container and compared with the source. You see VERIFIED — or exactly what failed and how to fix it.

bash
# 1. install (Debian / Ubuntu)
$ sudo apt install ./unthrecover_0.3.0-beta_amd64.deb

# 2. connect to your organization
$ unth agent enroll --url https://app.unthrecover.com
✓ Enrolled as web-1 in "Acme"

# 3. the agent runs jobs from the panel
$ sudo systemctl enable --now unth-agent
✓ shop-db  backup → restore test → VERIFIED
Features

Everything a backup should have done all along.

Built for teams who run their own PostgreSQL — on bare metal, VMs, Coolify, Dokploy or Docker Compose.

Isolated restore test, every run

Each backup is restored into a fresh container with no network access, then rows, schema, sequences and extensions are compared with the source. Production is never touched.

Encrypted, signed offsite copies

Copies are encrypted with age before they leave the server, signed with Ed25519, then downloaded again and checked.

Bring your own storage

Any S3-compatible bucket or your Google Drive — connected in the browser, no desktop app.

Finds your databases

Discovers PostgreSQL containers on Coolify, Dokploy and Docker Compose and suggests ready-made jobs.

Clear failures, suggested fixes

When a run fails you get the category — connection, permissions, disk, missing extension — and what to do next.

Outbound-only agent

No inbound ports, no VPN. Requests are signed with the server's own key.

Docker volumes too

Volume backups with a consistency policy and file-level verification.

Open source core

The CLI and local panel are Apache-2.0 with no feature locks. The cloud is optional.

Security

We see statuses. Never your data.

Backups go from your server straight into your storage. The cloud panel only receives summaries: status, size, duration, error category.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Unth Recover store my backups?

No. Backups are written on your server and copied to storage you own. The cloud panel receives summaries only — statuses, sizes, durations and error categories.

What exactly does “VERIFIED” mean?

The backup was restored into a brand-new, isolated PostgreSQL container and its tables, row counts, schema, sequences and extensions matched the source. If anything differs, the run is marked FAILED with the reason.

Will the restore test touch my production database?

No. The test runs in a throwaway container without network access. Your production database is only read by the backup itself.

Can I use it without the cloud?

Yes. The open-source CLI and local panel do everything on a single server for free, with no feature locks. The cloud adds central management for many servers.

Which databases and platforms are supported?

PostgreSQL 12 to 17 and Docker volumes, on any Linux server with Docker — including Coolify, Dokploy and Docker Compose setups.

What happens when the trial ends?

Your organization moves to Community. Servers you already connected keep working; to add more, choose a plan. No card is needed for the trial.
