Score: 5.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

TagBackup is a Go CLI tool that uploads, downloads, lists, and deletes files on S3-compatible storage using human-readable tags embedded directly in object keys, eliminating the need for an external index. It supports tag expressions (AND/OR/NOT), includes a local web UI, and offers atomic downloads and scriptable JSON output. It's an interesting lightweight alternative for tagged backup workflows, though it overlaps with tools like rclone and restic.

Target audience: DevOps and backend developers managing simple database dumps or file backups on S3-compatible storage
