FiveMesh Backup 1.0.0

Local-first, scheduled backups for MariaDB and MySQL. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your backups stay on your machine.

Install

Windows (PowerShell, no admin needed):

irm https://github.com/FiveMesh/fivemesh-backup/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Linux (as the user that will own the backups):

curl -fsSL https://github.com/FiveMesh/fivemesh-backup/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

The installer verifies the download against SHA256SUMS, installs for your user, and starts guided setup.

Highlights

  • Guided setup. Finds your MariaDB/MySQL tools (including XAMPP, Laragon, WAMP), lists your databases so you can pick one, chooses storage and retention, and finishes with a verified test backup.
  • Background backups on Windows. Runs whether or not you are signed in and after reboots, with no stored Windows password and no extra user. Windows asks for administrator approval once.
  • systemd user timers on Linux. No root, no always-running service.
  • Safe archives. Native mariadb-dump/mysqldump, streamed through Zstandard, written atomically with a SHA-256 checksum and fully verified. Retention never touches unrelated files.
  • Restore with guard rails. Restores only into a database you name and confirm.
  • Discord notifications. Optional messages for successful and failed backups, restores, and setting changes. Never blocks a backup, never pings @everyone.

Requirements

The MariaDB or MySQL client tools on the machine running FiveMesh Backup. They come with every MariaDB/MySQL install, XAMPP, Laragon, and WAMP.
