Unraid Guardian
A self-hosted Backup, Sync & Storage app you can run on your own server.
With Unraid Guardian, you get a self-hosted backup, sync and storage tool that lives on your own server, under your rules. Self-hosting it means no per-user subscription and no third-party cloud holding your information.
The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 171 stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Mar 16, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it.
Before you switch
Backup tools must be tested with a restore, not just a successful backup message. Run a trial recovery of one folder, verify checksums or snapshots, and store at least one copy off-site. Sync tools deserve the same care: test conflict behaviour with a throwaway file first.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Unraid Guardian is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
