🛡️ BackupX

Self-hosted Server Backup Management Platform with Web UI

Features • Quick Start • Configuration • Architecture • Cluster • Development • API

---

BackupX is a self-hosted backup management platform for Linux / macOS servers. Through an enterprise-grade Web console, you can easily configure directory backups, database backups, and securely store backup files to Alibaba Cloud OSS, Tencent Cloud COS, Qiniu Cloud Kodo, Google Drive, S3-compatible storage, WebDAV, or local disk.

Supports multi-node cluster management for unified control of backup tasks across different servers.

For: Individual developers / small teams / DevOps with Linux servers

Features

📦 Multiple Backup Types

• Files / Directories — Custom exclude rules (e.g. node_modules, *.log)
• MySQL — Via native mysqldump tool
• SQLite — Safe file copy
• PostgreSQL — Via native pg_dump tool

☁️ Multi-Cloud Storage Backends

Provider	Type	Description
🇨🇳 Alibaba Cloud OSS	aliyun_oss	Auto endpoint assembly, internal network support
🇨🇳 Tencent Cloud COS	tencent_cos	Auto endpoint assembly
🇨🇳 Qiniu Cloud Kodo	qiniu_kodo	6 region precise mapping
🌍 S3 Compatible	s3	AWS S3 / MinIO / Cloudflare R2, etc.
🌍 Google Drive	google_drive	Full OAuth 2.0 flow
🌍 WebDAV	webdav	Nextcloud / Nutstore, etc.
💾 Local Disk	local_disk	Backup to local server directory

Chinese cloud providers only require Region and AccessKey — the system auto-assembles the endpoint. Powered by the S3 engine under the hood with zero extra dependencies.

Quick Start

Build from Source

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/Awuqing/GoogleDriverBackupEveryDay.git
cd GoogleDriverBackupEveryDay

# Build frontend and backend
make build

# Start the backend service (default port :8340)
cd server && ./bin/backupx

Access Web UI

Open http://your-server:8340 in your browser. First-time use will guide you through creating an admin account.

Configuration

The config file defaults to ./config.yaml. Settings can also be overridden via BACKUPX_ prefixed environment variables.

# config.yaml
server:
  host: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 8340
  mode: "release"              # debug | release

database:
  path: "./data/backupx.db"    # SQLite database path

security:
  jwt_secret: ""               # Leave empty to auto-generate
  jwt_expire: "24h"
  encryption_key: ""           # AES encryption key, auto-generated if empty

backup:
  temp_dir: "/tmp/backupx"     # Backup temp directory
  max_concurrent: 2            # Max concurrent backups

log:
  level: "info"                # debug | info | warn | error
  file: "./data/backupx.log"
  max_size: 100                # Max log file size (MB)
  max_backups: 3               # Number of old log files to retain
  max_age: 30                  # Log retention days

💡 jwt_secret and encryption_key are auto-generated on first startup and persisted to the database.

Cluster Mode

BackupX supports Master-Agent mode for managing backup tasks across multiple servers.

How It Works

1. Master is the server running the BackupX Web console
2. Agent is deployed on remote servers that need to be backed up
3. Agents register with the Master using a Token and send periodic heartbeats
4. Master dispatches backup tasks to the corresponding Agent for execution

Adding Nodes

# In Web Console → Node Management → Add Node
# The system generates a unique 64-character hex Token

# Configure the Agent on the remote server
./backupx-agent --master http://master-server:8340 --token <your-token>

Directory Probe API

Master provides GET /api/nodes/:id/fs/list?path=/ to remotely browse a node's file system. The frontend uses a tree selector to browse the target machine's directory structure when creating backup tasks.

Development

Prerequisites

• Go ≥ 1.21
• Node.js ≥ 18
• npm

Dev Mode

# Terminal 1: Start backend (use air for hot-reload)
make dev-server

# Terminal 2: Start frontend (Vite HMR)
make dev-web

Run Tests

# Run all tests
make test

# Backend only
make test-server    # go test ./...

# Frontend only
make test-web       # npm run test

Build

# Build frontend and backend
make build

# Clean build artifacts
make clean

Deployment

One-Click Install (Recommended)

# Build first
make build

# Run install script as root
sudo ./deploy/install.sh

The install script will automatically:

1. Create a backupx system user
2. Install the binary to /opt/backupx/bin/
3. Deploy the frontend to /opt/backupx/web/
4. Generate config at /etc/backupx/config.yaml
5. Register and start the systemd service
6. Configure Nginx reverse proxy (if installed)

Manual Deployment

# 1. Build
cd server && go build -o backupx ./cmd/backupx
cd ../web && npm run build

# 2. Deploy files
scp server/backupx your-server:/opt/backupx/bin/
scp -r web/dist/ your-server:/opt/backupx/web/
scp server/config.example.yaml your-server:/etc/backupx/config.yaml

# 3. Start
ssh your-server '/opt/backupx/bin/backupx -config /etc/backupx/config.yaml'

Nginx Config Example

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name backup.example.com;

    # Frontend static files
    location / {
        root /opt/backupx/web;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    # API reverse proxy
    location /api/ {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8340;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    }
}

Cloud Storage Setup Guide

Alibaba Cloud OSS

1. Log in to Alibaba Cloud Console, create a Bucket
2. Go to RAM Console to create an AccessKey
3. Select "Alibaba Cloud OSS" when adding a storage target in BackupX
4. Enter the Region (e.g. cn-hangzhou) and AccessKey — the system auto-assembles the endpoint

Tencent Cloud COS

1. Log in to Tencent Cloud Console, create a bucket
2. Go to API Key Management to create SecretId/SecretKey
3. Bucket name format is BucketName-APPID (e.g. backup-1250000000)

Qiniu Cloud Kodo

1. Log in to Qiniu Cloud Console, create a storage space
2. Supported regions: z0 (East China) / cn-east-2 (East China-Zhejiang 2) / z1 (North China) / z2 (South China) / na0 (North America) / as0 (Southeast Asia)

Google Drive

1. Go to Google Cloud Console and create a project
2. Enable the Google Drive API
3. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Web application type)
4. Add redirect URI: http://your-server/api/storage-targets/google-drive/callback
5. Enter the Client ID / Secret in BackupX storage management and click Authorize
