Cloud backups for UniFi Controllers
Introducing BackiFi.com to the world (of Ubiquiti UniFi Controller admins)
How did we get here?
So a group of us that work with MSPs, IT installers and commercial WiFi Systems began loving UniFi. It’s good hardware, it’s good software, its commercial grade but consumer priced.
Somewhere along the way, we ended up with scores of CloudKey Gen 1s and CloudKey Gen 2s, Raspberry Pi, laptops, cloud servers and all sorts of systems that we were using as controllers.
But there is one key thing missing for us, a centralised off-site backup of controller settings for when one of these controllers dies or goes missing.
So we built a tool for internal use, then decided we could make it for others to use as well by building a frontend to the codebase and applying for public use connectors to things like Dropbox and Google Drive.
What it does
It’s real simple, you connect your controller(s)
You connect your 3rd party storage

- Amazon S3 Guide
- Google Drive Guide
- FTP & SFTP Guide
- Microsoft OneDrive Guide
And finally, create the configs to run how you want them
Notes
The application is designed for you to manage multiple controllers, multiple storage locations and multiple schedules. With these controls you can run thousands of configurations of backups.
We don’t charge anything for it. We thought about building pricing and subscription models and things like this, but then thought, let’s give it away.
