Yes, so far this is MySQL only. I don't think adding Postgres support would be that far fetched, have a look at https://github.com/infostreams/db/tree/master/bin/drivers/my... for example to see the meat of the load & save operations. You'd have to implement it twice though, once for local servers, and once for remote servers (via ssh).
