Backups
Automatic and on-demand backups of PostgreSQL databases (and Odoo) — enabling, retention, tracking.
Nubiecloud backs up your PostgreSQL databases (and Odoo instances, which rely on PostgreSQL) to object storage, automatically or on demand.
ℹ️ Scope. Managed backups cover PostgreSQL and Odoo. The other managed services (MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka) have no native backup, and CODE applications have no application-level backup.
Enable automatic backups
On the relevant deployment → Backups tab → configure:
| Field | Format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | yes / no | yes |
| Schedule | cron expression (5 fields) | 0 3 * * * (every day at 3 am) |
| Retention | duration | 30d (30 days), 7d, 90d |
Once enabled, backups run according to the schedule, and older ones are purged automatically beyond the retention.
On-demand backup
Trigger an immediate backup with Backup on demand. Its status progresses: pending → running → completed (or failed).
Track the backups
The backup list shows, for each one: the name, the snapshot's timestamp, the type (scheduled / on demand), the status and the size. It can be filtered by environment, status and type.
💡 Statuses are synchronized regularly from the infrastructure — a freshly triggered backup may appear as
pending/runningfor a moment before turningcompleted.
Restore
Restoring follows a secure Blue/Green journey (validation before switching over). See the dedicated guide: Restoring a backup.
