Database Backups & Restore
Schedule automatic backups, take manual snapshots, and restore from a previous point.
Manual snapshot
On the database detail page, click Backup → Manual. The system runs pg_dump inside the container and uploads the result to cold storage. Manual backups are kept until you delete them.
Scheduled backups
Set the backup schedule to Daily or Weekly from the detail page. Scheduled backups rotate — the oldest one is dropped when the quota fills.
Restore
- Open the database detail page → Backups tab.
- Find the backup you want and click Restore.
- The database stops, the snapshot is downloaded, pg_restore runs, and the database starts again.
