Backups
Runsite takes automated backups of your managed databases and lets you trigger manual ones at any time. Restoring is a single click in the dashboard.
Supported databases
Section titled “Supported databases”- PostgreSQL — daily automated backups with point-in-time recovery within the retention window.
- Redis — scheduled snapshots and on-demand snapshots.
Manual backups
Section titled “Manual backups”From a database’s Backups tab in the dashboard, click Create backup to take an on-demand snapshot. Manual backups sit alongside automated ones in the same list and can be restored the same way.
Restoring
Section titled “Restoring”Restoring a backup overwrites the current database contents with the snapshot — the operation cannot be undone, so the dashboard asks for confirmation before proceeding.
Backup status
Section titled “Backup status”Each backup goes through these states:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
pending | Backup queued for processing. |
in_progress | Backup currently running. |
completed | Backup finished successfully. |
failed | Backup failed — the dashboard shows the error message. |
Retention
Section titled “Retention”Automated backups are retained according to the database’s plan. Manual backups stay until you delete them. Old backups can be removed individually from the dashboard.
