Ogion

A tool for performing scheduled database backups and transferring encrypted data to secure public clouds, for home labs, hobby projects, etc., in environments such as k8s, docker, vms.

Backups are in age format, with strong encryption under the hood. Why age? it’s modern replacement for GnuPG, available for most architectures and systems. Lzip compression is used before encryption step.

At this point, no fundamental breaking changes are planned, you may consider this as a stable, feature complete software.
