What It Does

Extends the free backup plugin with production-grade capabilities: AES-256 encryption at rest, simultaneous upload to multiple destinations (S3, GCS, Azure Blob, R2), point-in-time recovery (PITR) via WAL archiving, and backup verification by test-restoring to an isolated container. Includes a web dashboard for backup status and restore operations.

Note on Free Tier

The free backup plugin handles standard scheduled pg_dump. This pro version adds encryption, multi-destination, PITR, and verification.
