This is the fastest solution to get your server configured to run backups.

It saves you two steps in the backup process for new/existing servers:

  1. Adding your server manually to SimpleBackups

  2. Running the connection script on your server

Some of its features:

  • It does not require sudo or root access

  • Figures out the username, IP address and home directory of your server automatically

Some of the ideas of how it can be useful:

  • Connect existing servers in bulk to SimpleBackups without having to add every server manually and running the connection script

  • Use as a Laravel Forge recipe to add newly created servers to SimpleBackups

You can find below some screenshots on some of the platforms for demonstration.
