The database Backups page shows the automatic daily backups and any manually created backups you’ve made of your database. You can also restore a backup, create a new manual backup, or delete a manual backup.
To download a database backup, you’ll need to either export your database via the command line or use a database tool like TablePlus.
Database backups are excluded when calculating your total disk space (i.e. storage).

If you need to make more than 5 manual backups in 14 days, you’ll need to delete one of the manual backups to make room for a new one.

Restore a backup

You can restore automatic or manual backups in Sevalla.
Restoring a database backup overwrites the current database content with the content from the backup. Your database credentials and external connection details will not change.
To restore a backup, click the ellipsis (three dots) next to the backup you want to restore, click Restore, and click Continue. The restoration may take several minutes or more, depending on the size of your database.
