PlainBackups

I've been spending part of my free time on evenings and weekends building an MVP for PlainBackups.

At this point I am pretty happy to say that it covers my needs and more (I added MySQL support even if I don't see myself using it as I know a lot of prospective clients would), I've worked on getting somewhat of a homepage/landing page in place and an ready to start the hard work of putting the product in front of potential clients and listening closely to their feedback.

I don't want this endeavor to take up too much of my time as I have a great full time job that requires a lot of work & mind space but I think PlainBackups has the potential to be an easy sell if I can reach the right audience.

If you are not already backing up you databases or, like me, feel the need to have an extra failsafe on top of your hosting provider's backups give PlainBackups a try!

I've wanted to build a SaaS of my own for as long as I had a career in tech but never actually launched something all those years.

Many ideas have come and gone and I've always been building prototypes, some rather complete with pricing pages & everything.

In the recent years I've been able to actually finish some products and still use them to this day, but never put the effort into asking money for them or marketing them as I didn't think many people would use this exact solution I came up with for my problem I am solving.

Today is the day where this changes, I have an idea that I think quite a few other early SaaS companies in the same boat as me could benefit from, I think it's worth the marketing & building effort as I see some potential customers and not too much competition.

PlainBackups is born.
