Hi everyone,

I built a CLI tool to bring reliable, enterprise-grade backup automation to CyberPanel and Linux servers.

CyberTools Admin 1.5.0 includes:

• Automated project & system backups
• Safe Restore (restores into a test directory first)
• Direct Restore with confirmation
• Auto-Healing Startup (.bashrc fix)
• Unified logging
• Zero telemetry
• Pure Bash

More details + install guide: theusaseo[dot]com/cybertoolsadmin/

Would love feedback from the self-hosting and Linux communities.

There’s tons of backup solutions out there. Why should selfhosters buy a proprietary one?

That’s a fair question.

CyberTools Admin isn’t trying to replace rsync, tar, Borg, Restic, etc. Those tools are excellent — but they’re low-level primitives.

What I built sits one level above that:

Safe restore workflows (test restores before touching production)

Explicit restore modes (simulate / safe / direct)

Startup self-healing

Dependency validation

Unified audit logs

I spent years working on large, high-risk systems where backup failures and unsafe restores had real consequences. After seeing the same classes of failures repeat — especially in smaller VPS environments — I built this first for myself, then cleaned it up so others could use it safely.

Users also own the version they purchase. There’s no forced SaaS dependency, no mandatory upgrades, and no telemetry.

It’s opinionated by design — for admins who want predictable recovery, not just archives.
