Silent Dock is a browser-based database administration and secure-access platform for developers and teams managing MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. Its backup capabilities are aimed at teams that want a straightforward way to create and track full database backups without moving database contents off their infrastructure. The web application also includes query tools, CRUD operations, dashboards, data import, Excel export, and generated APIs, making it broader than a backup-only utility while keeping database administration at its center.

The Developer plan is free and includes table and collection browsing, full CRUD operations, 1,000 API requests per month, and one secure tunnel. Starter costs $19 per month and adds AI Query Studio, charts and dashboards, a schema / ERD viewer, data import, and Excel export. Pro costs $49 per month and is the key backup tier: it adds one-click database backups and history, multiple database connections, team collaboration and RBAC, audit logs, change tracking, and priority support. Enterprise adds unlimited API requests and tunnels, custom integrations, SSO / SAML support, 24/7 priority support, and an SLA guarantee.

For backup-focused teams, Silent Dock offers practical controls: Excel backup downloads, optional uploads to AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, or other S3-compatible storage, encrypted S3 credentials, and history showing tables, row counts, file size, and a cloud link. The outbound database tunnel and role-based administration suit teams that need controlled access across several database types. The workflow is centered on full backups, so organizations requiring point-in-time recovery, scheduled backups, retention policies, or restore verification should choose a more specialized alternative. Silent Dock fits small teams that value simple administration and cloud-compatible backup storage; it is less suitable for advanced recovery operations.
