Backups
Redis is mostly used as a cache, so backups are opt-in rather than automatic. When the data matters (queues, session stores, rate-limit counters), take a snapshot before risky changes.
On-demand backup
Section titled “On-demand backup”Open the Backups tab and click Backup now. The instance keeps serving traffic while the snapshot runs.
Restore
Section titled “Restore”From the Backups tab, click Restore on any completed snapshot. The instance is rolled back to that snapshot — current keys are replaced.
Two things to keep in mind:
- The instance must be running to restore.
- Restore replaces the entire keyspace. If you only want a few keys back, restore into a fresh instance instead and copy the keys over.
Platform reference
