Pluton is a self-hosted backup management application for protecting files across local and cloud storage. It combines the Restic backup engine with Rclone connectivity, offering a web interface for creating and managing backup jobs.
The software is designed for environments where data needs to be backed up regularly and stored in more than one location. Users can define backup schedules, choose storage destinations and configure retention policies without managing each operation manually.
Pluton also supports backup replication, making it useful for maintaining additional copies of important data. Recovery operations are accessible through the web interface, allowing users to work with previously created snapshots and retrieve backed-up files.
The application brings together backup monitoring, notifications and execution history, helping users identify problems with scheduled jobs and investigate failed operations.
This is free and open source software.
