BackupDrill backs up your Supabase project — Postgres AND Storage files — to your own S3/R2/B2 bucket, then proves it works: weekly restore drills in a throwaway sandbox, verified tables, rows and checksums. MIT open-source engine.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
BackupDrill started with an uncomfortable realization: my Supabase backups had never been restored. Not once. And a backup you've never restored is a hope, not a backup — a truncated dump, a wrong-role dump, or a table that quietly stopped being captured all look identical to a good backup as files in a bucket.
Supabase's own backups are solid, but there are three gaps: Storage files don't come back with a database restore (only storage.objects metadata does), backups can't leave Supabase's infrastructure, and nothing ever tests that they actually restore. PITR exists — at $100/month per project, and it still skips Storage files.
So I built BackupDrill:
• Backs up Postgres + Storage files together, to YOUR bucket (S3/R2/B2). You hold the keys — bytes stream through our workers and are never written to our disks.
• Every week it restores your latest snapshot into a throwaway Postgres, verifies tables, row counts and Storage checksums, then destroys the sandbox.
• You get the graded report by email. Proof, not a green cron job.
The backup engine is MIT open source (github.com/backupdrill/cli) — run it yourself in CI if you prefer DIY; the hosted service adds scheduling, drills, alerting and reports.
Free plan: 1 project, weekly backups, no credit card. Paid plans from $19/month.
Honest limitations, so you don't have to dig: no PITR/WAL (that's Supabase PITR's job — run both if you need point-in-time), hosted Supabase only for now, and Postgres + Storage only.

I'll be here all day — ask me anything.
the restore drills thing is genuinely clever. so many backup tools just dump and forget, actually verifying a restore on a schedule is the kind of detail that separates a real tool from a checkbox feature.
