Database Guardian pro
Proves your backups actually restore. Monitors your database
Wrote a more complete breakdown of why I built this and how the Docker verification actually works:
The short version: most backup scripts tell you the dump file exists. That's not the same as knowing it restores. This tool proves the difference.
Hey everyone,
A few weeks ago I posted about my project, Database Guardian. After some intense feedback about the "Schrödinger’s Backup" problem (not knowing if a backup is valid until it's too late), I decided to go back to the drawing board.
Today I’ve officially launched the Pro Version with a "Sentinel" architecture:
Automatic Sandboxing: It now spins up an ephemeral Docker container for every backup to perform a real-world restore test.
Anti-Bit Rot: Added monthly sampling for legacy archives.
Visual Mastery: Rebuilt the CLI output for better clarity (check the screenshot below).
It’s been a wild ride of refactoring with AsyncIO, but the peace of mind of knowing the data is safe is worth it.

Would love to hear how you guys handle backup verification. Do you trust the file size or do you actually perform test restores? 🍷🌹

The stage is set. The baton is raised.
In the grand symphony of software, a silent database is a tragedy. We’ve all been there: waking up to a broken service, only to realize the database crashed hours ago—and nobody told you.
I was tired of heavy, overpriced monitoring tools that felt like a chaotic noise instead of a harmonized orchestra. So, I decided to build my own sentinel.
