Terms of Use

1. The software is open-source

SQLBackup is licensed under the MIT License. Your rights to use, modify, and distribute the software are governed by that license — see the License page. These terms cover the website and general use.

2. Provided "as is"

SQLBackup is provided without warranty of any kind. While it is built carefully and uses standard, audited cryptography and each database's official tooling, you are responsible for verifying that your backups complete and that you can restore them. Test your restores regularly.

3. Your responsibilities

• Safeguard your encryption password — lost passwords mean unrecoverable backups, by design.
• Secure the credentials and storage you configure SQLBackup to use.
• Comply with the terms of any third-party services (databases, cloud storage) you connect.
• Ensure your use complies with applicable laws and any data-protection obligations you have.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors are not liable for any data loss, downtime, or damages arising from the use or inability to use the software. Backups are a safety net you operate; ultimate responsibility for your data rests with you.

5. Website content

Interactive demos on this site (the live dashboard, pipeline, config builder, and restore simulator) are illustrative and use sample data. They do not connect to real databases or storage.

6. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time; the date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the current terms.
