Backups

Backups apply to database Services in the applications flow. Open the Backups tab; the heading is Backups, with the description: create and manage database backups.

App and Docker Services do not use this tab for code backups. Use Git tags, registry snapshots, and your own object-storage pipelines for application artifacts.

Create an on-demand backup

  1. Open the Service → Backups tab.
  2. Open Create Backup (split button) → Internal Backup. The menu explains that this Creates backup within the server.
  3. Wait for the toast confirming the job was Added to queue.

External Backup (cloud storage destinations) appears in the menu but is marked Coming soon in the current product.

Restore or delete a snapshot

When backups exist, each row shows actions such as Restore and Delete. Confirm carefully: restores overwrite live data for that Service.

  • Restores and deletes enqueue work; follow progress in toasts and Logs if something stalls.

Backup schedules (UI preview)

Create backup schedule opens Configure backup schedule with Daily, Weekly, and Monthly descriptions. The Save schedule action is currently disabled (Coming soon). Treat scheduling as preview-only until the product enables it.

Operational notes

  • Backups are only as durable as the underlying Worker Node storage unless external copy ships.
  • Test restores on a non-production Environment before you rely on a path for incidents.
  • Deleting the Service or Environment may remove associated backup metadata; read confirmation dialogs closely.

Screenshots

Recommended captures:

  • Backups tab with Create Backup open showing Internal Backup.
  • Backup list with Restore and Delete actions visible.
  • Configure backup schedule dialog (optional, labeled as coming soon in copy).
