What is anybackup?

Anybackup is a data backup and recovery platform that uses an AI agent to make backup administration less manual and error-prone. The core problem it addresses is that traditional backup systems require administrators to know exactly which settings to configure, which recovery point to pick, and which risks they are taking, expertise that is easy to get wrong under pressure, especially during an outage. Instead of clicking through menus, you describe what you need in plain English: "recommend a backup plan for our production database" or "the server crashed, what do I do?" The AI agent interprets that, generates a structured plan explaining the options and their trade-offs, and waits for a human to confirm before executing anything that could overwrite data. Once confirmed, a separate execution layer carries out the actual backup or recovery operation. Every decision and action is logged so you can trace back what happened and why. The current early release focuses on MySQL databases. You would use this if you manage database backups and want AI assistance to generate protection plans, guide recovery after failures, and answer operational questions without hunting through raw system details, while still keeping a human in control of risky actions. It runs on Kubernetes and is written in Python.
