SimpleBackups updates simplebackups.io

We've added a "dark theme" to SimpleBackups.

You can enable it from your account menu:

🤝 Backblaze partnership

SimpleBackups is now an official Backblaze B2 integration! We've joined their close circle of preferred integrated solution.

✉️ Better email deliverability

We've changed the email service we use to "Postmark" in order to improve email deliverability. We know that email notifications are crucial for some of our users.

🤩 Special thanks to a special customer

We want to thank Youness for all the constructive feedback he provided us! He helped us make the SimpleBackups experience better for you. Thank you, Youness!

This release is a big one! We took the time to rethink our user interface as well as greatly improve our backup scripts.

✅ Validation driven

You'll now be able to validate your server, storage and database connections right from the creation form in one single click.

✨ Interface improvements

Create your backups using our new wizard, it keeps things simple and make sure each step is validated before moving further.

🆘 In-app support

No more guessing, every error is now clearly explained and documented right from the app.

🛡️Security

We've improved security by switching to a much stronger SSH authentication method.

🏎️ Speed improvements & better resource management

We've been re-writing our scripts from the ground up. More security, better resources management and up-to 400% performance improvement.

▶️ Backup File Streaming improvements

✨ New look

Thanks to all your feedback (special thanks to Jason) we've refreshed our UI with an easier navigation, less bloat and more consistency across all pages. This also paves the way for us to add more useful features down the road.

🎯 Quick actions & redesigned drop downs

We simplified the way to trigger any action and made it accessible from any listing as well as from the backup page.

📌 You now have a dashboard

Quickly access main sections, create backups, view last activity and get a quick view on your plan usage.​
