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

• PostgreSQL — daily automated backups with point-in-time recovery within the retention window.
• Redis — scheduled snapshots and on-demand snapshots.

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

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

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

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.
