PG Back Web (recently rebranded as UFO Backup) is an open-source web UI for managing PostgreSQL backups. It uses pg_dump under the hood, supports PostgreSQL versions 13–18, and stores backups in S3-compatible object storage or local directories. Features include scheduled and on-demand backups, PGP encryption, backup lifecycle management, and webhook-based monitoring with dead man's switch support. The post walks through the interface's six sections (Databases, Destinations, Backups, Executions, Restorations, Webhooks), notes current limitations (no pg_basebackup, no PITR, no custom dump formats), and provides complete Kubernetes manifests (StatefulSet, Secret, Service, Ingress) for deployment. Best suited for smaller PostgreSQL databases in cloud-native environments where simplicity is valued over advanced backup strategies.
