About DB Mover
DB Mover is a web-based, open-source database migration and backup tool for developers and engineering teams that need to move data or generate backups without using database CLI utilities.
It provides a single interface to run same-engine database transfers or exports, handling common configuration details in guided forms:
- Copy source to target (same engine) across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, and Firebase (Firestore and Realtime Database), by selecting an engine and pasting source and target connection strings; cross-engine migration (e.g., MySQL to PostgreSQL) is not supported
- Instant backup downloads that generate a compressed archive of source data for audits, risky schema changes, or environment handoffs
- Live progress and streaming logs (via Server-Sent Events) during runs so teams can verify each step before closing the tab
- Saved configuration restart support to rerun a migration if needed
- Credentials held in memory only: connection strings are used only for the active job and never written to disk; backup files stored temporarily on Cloudflare R2 are encrypted at rest, accessible only via time-limited (2-hour) links, and auto-deleted after 24 hours
Available on Web (browser-based access only; no installation needed for the hosted version). It can also be self-hosted via Docker or built manually from source.
Built for B2B technical teams, including backend developers, DevOps engineers, and platform teams managing database migrations, backups, and environment-to-environment data copies.
Notable for being free and open source (MIT License, ~70 GitHub stars) and requiring no account, which can suit teams that want a quick, UI-driven alternative to tools like pg_dump, mongodump, mysqldump, and redis-cli. Support runs through GitHub Issues on its repository rather than a dedicated helpdesk.
