📄 Description

Thank you for taking the time to work on a PR for Awesome-Sysadmin!

To ensure your PR is dealt with swiftly please check the following:

Your additions are Free software
Software you are submitting is not your own, unless you have a healthy ecosystem with a few contributors (which aren't your sock puppet accounts).
Submit one item per pull request. This eases reviewing and speeds up inclusion.
Format your submission as follows, where Demo and Clients are optional.
Do not add a duplicate Source code link if it is the same as the main link.
Keep the short description under 80 characters and use sentence case
for it, even if the project's webpage or readme uses another capitalisation.
Demo links should only be used for interactive demos, i.e. not video demonstrations.
- [Name](http://homepage/) - Short description, under 250 characters, sentence case. ([Demo](http://url.to/demo), [Source Code](http://url.of/source/code), [Clients](https://url.to/list/of/related/clients-or-apps)) `License` `Language`
Additions are inserted preserving alphabetical order.
Additions are not already listed at awesome-selfhosted
The Language tag is the main server-side requirement for the software. Don't include frameworks or specific dialects.
You have searched the repository for any relevant issues or PRs, including closed ones.
Any category you are creating has the minimum requirement of 3 items.
Any software project you are adding to the list is actively maintained.
The pull request title is informative, unlike "Update README.md".
Suggested titles: "Add aaa to bbb" for adding software aaa to section bbb,
"Remove aaa from bbb" for removing, "Fix license for aaa", etc.

Please take some time to answer the following questions as best you can:

Why is it awesome?

Portabase is awesome compared to other backup software due to its headless agent, designed to be secure.

Have you used it? For how long?

I have been following the project since the beginning and have been using it in a production environment for three months.

Is this in a personal or professional setup?

Not directly personal, but I have been involved in the project.

How many devices/users/services/... do you manage with it?

Actually, I manage more than 6 organizations with 7 production databases, and over 977 backups have passed through the self-hosted platform.

Biggest pros/cons compared to other solutions?

Pros:

Performance, security: database credentials are not stored on the server side, only at the agent level, in your instance.

Cons:

Still in beta but under active development. The team has started developing the community, but there are some difficulties. That is why I am applying here.
Any other comments about your use case, things you've found excellent, limitations you've encountered... ?
