Backups

Protect your data with automated database backups and volume snapshots. Restore quickly when you need to recover or migrate.

Database backups

Managed PostgreSQL and Redis services include automated backups. Backups are scheduled automatically, and point in time recovery is available for supported databases.

  • Automatic backups for managed database services.
  • Point in time recovery for supported Postgres tiers.
  • Restore into a new service to validate before swapping.

Volume snapshots

Volumes can be snapshotted on demand to capture the full filesystem state. Snapshots are useful for migrations, staging data, and recovery workflows.

  • Create a snapshot before risky migrations or major releases.
  • Restore into a new volume and attach it to a service.
  • Keep snapshots organized by environment and date.

Recovery workflow

  1. Create a new database or volume from the backup.
  2. Attach it to a staging service and validate data integrity.
  3. Swap connections or attach the restored volume in production.
