Backups
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).
Daily backups
Databases are automatically backed up daily, and each backup is stored for 7 days.
