Backups you never have to remember
Every MySQL, PostgreSQL and durable Valkey database is backed up daily and each backup kept 7 days unless you choose otherwise, stored away from the database itself. Your apps’ volumes get snapshots and backups too.

Seven days back, one backup a day
By default a backup is taken every day at 07:30 IST, and each one is removed once it is older than your retention. Back up now adds one whenever you need it; those stay until you delete them.

Restore is for PostgreSQL and Valkey today, into the same engine and version; MySQL backups are taken, and restoring them is coming soon. Backups help you recover, but they aren’t a guarantee: check a restore before you rely on it.
The backup you need is the one that exists
The backup script stopped weeks ago and nobody noticed.
Backups run on a schedule you can see, with every result, completed or failed, listed on the database’s Backups tab.
You’re about to run a risky migration.
Select Back up now first. It’s listed straight away, marked Completed when it’s done, and kept until you delete it.
Restoring over the live database is terrifying.
A restore always creates a new database. Check it, then point your app at it; the original keeps running.
Protection for databases and volumes
Your schedule
Every 6 or 12 hours, daily or weekly, at a time you choose.
Stored apart
Database backups are kept away from the database’s own storage.
Restore into a new database
PostgreSQL and Valkey today; MySQL coming soon.
Volume snapshots
Quick point-in-time copies of an app’s volume, kept on the volume’s own storage.
Volume backups
Copies of a volume’s snapshot, kept away from the volume’s storage.
Safe deletes
Deleting a database keeps its backups unless you choose to delete them too.

Questions about backups
- Yes, for every MySQL, PostgreSQL and durable Valkey database: daily, each kept 7 days unless you change it. A Valkey cache keeps nothing on disk, so it has no backups.
- Away from the database’s own storage, not on its disk. Backups help you recover, but they aren’t a guarantee: for data you can’t afford to lose, keep a copy of your own too.
- Not today. A restore creates a new database of the same engine and version from the backup, and the original keeps running. Restores are for PostgreSQL and Valkey; restoring MySQL backups is coming soon.
- They’re kept unless you choose to delete them too. Kept backups stay listed in the project, and PostgreSQL and Valkey ones can still be restored.
- Yes. From the volume’s page, take a snapshot — a quick copy kept on the volume’s own storage — or back it up, which copies it away from that storage. Restoring a volume from them isn’t available yet.
