The problems BucketHub
solves
This product was built to solve the recurring operational and development challenges found in real environments like the ones below.
A macOS-native app that monitors cloud object storage buckets on one screen and safely auto-backs them up locally. It unifies AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and Google Cloud Storage into a single workflow with schedule-based incremental backups and status monitoring. Existing solutions were either not operator-friendly or built in a way that piled up maintenance costs. UNISYS redesigned this into a product that's owned all the way through operations.
Key Features
The core features BucketHub provides. Every feature is delivered in an operable form.
Operations dashboard
Monitor backup status, capacity, object count, and progress for all buckets on one screen. In-progress tasks and errors are shown in real time, and you can track history via a recent activity log.
Multi-cloud support
Register and manage AWS S3, Cloudflare R2 (S3-compatible), and Google Cloud Storage the same way. Provider-specific regions and URI schemes (s3:// · r2:// · gs://) are provided out of the box.
Automatic backup schedules
Assign manual, hourly, daily, or weekly policies per bucket. A timezone-aware scheduler computes the next run time and triggers backups automatically.
Incremental backup engine
A hash cache and file mirroring download only changed objects to reduce time and transfer volume. Glob filters (* · ** · ?) let you selectively back up specific key patterns.
Secure credential management
Access keys and service-account JSON are stored in the macOS Keychain and never sent to external servers. App Sandbox and security-scoped bookmarks restrict access to only the folders you specify.
Localization
Korean, Japanese, and English supported out of the box, switching automatically to match the system language.
