Built With Latest Technology Stack

Layer	Technologies Used
Frontend	HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap 5, JavaScript, jQuery
Backend	Java (Spring Boot) / Node.js (Express) / Python (Flask)
Database	MySQL / PostgreSQL for system logs and user settings
Backup Targets	Local Files, MySQL Dumps, MongoDB Snapshots
Cloud Storage	AWS S3 / Google Cloud Storage / Firebase / Dropbox API
Security	AES Encryption, JWT Tokens, HTTPS, Bcrypt for user auth
Scheduling	Cron Jobs / Quartz Scheduler (Java) / node-cron (Node.js)

Security-Focused Architecture

Security Layer	Description
Encrypted Transfers	Data encrypted before upload (AES-256) and during transport (HTTPS)
Role-Based Access	Admins vs. Users - separate restore and backup privileges
Backup Validation	Check integrity of files after upload using hash comparison
Unauthorized Access Prevention	Authenticated sessions, OTP-based confirmation for destructive actions
Tamper-Proof Logs	Immutable backup & restore operation logs with timestamps and IPs

Execution Flow

User logs in → selects backup type (file/folder/database)
Chooses schedule → system sets a cron job or scheduler
Backup data is zipped → encrypted → uploaded to cloud storage
Metadata stored in DB (file name, size, timestamp, version)
User/Admin can view backups and restore any version
Notifications sent via email upon completion or failure
Admins can audit logs and enforce retention or delete rules

Deployment Plan

Component	Recommended Option
Web UI	Host on Netlify / Vercel / or self-hosted
Backend Server	Deploy on EC2 / Render / Railway
Cloud Storage	Connect AWS S3 / Google Cloud Buckets / Firebase Storage
Database	RDS or local DB (for backup logs and user management)
Backup Sources	Local files on server / remote DBs via secure connection
