App and disk backups

Create backup locations, schedule automatic backups, and restore apps and disks.

What is this backup for?

Use this flow for Quick Apps (including databases) and cloud volumes. For servers, see Server backups; for buckets, see Bucket backups.

Create a backup location

A backup location is an S3-compatible destination.

Open the backup page from the Backups menu.
In Backup locations, click Create.
Choose the Backup type.
Choose the S3 provider.
Enter:

Name
Endpoint
Bucket
Region
Access key (username)
Secret key (password)

Click Create.

Create a backup schedule

In Backup schedules, click Create.
Enter a Schedule name.
Choose one or more Backup locations.
Choose the Quick apps and Volumes.
Choose Backup days and Backup hour.
Click Create.

To take an immediate backup, use the backup-now action on the schedule row. The We are getting the backup message is shown.

View backups

The backup list shows:

Date
Name
Backup location
Status: Successful, Failed, or In Progress

For a failed backup, click View error.

Restore

Select a backup.
Click Restore.
Choose the destination location.
Confirm the restore.

The restore creates a new resource and restores the data into it. Some apps such as Matomo, Gitea, and n8n require a destination database first, or a restored database backup.
