kubackup is a web-based backup management application built around Restic. It provides a graphical interface for configuring and managing backup operations, allowing users to work with encrypted backup repositories through a browser.
The application is intended to make common backup tasks more accessible while retaining Restic’s underlying data protection capabilities. Its interface brings together repository management, backup planning, task execution and status reporting.
kubackup supports existing Restic repositories, so users can adopt the application without necessarily abandoning their established backup data. It also adds storage integrations aimed at users who rely on cloud services, including several Chinese object storage providers.
A web-based approach makes kubackup suitable for managing backups on servers or network-connected systems where a dedicated desktop interface may be less convenient.
This is free and open source software.
