Backups & Restore

Backups are managed from the Backups tab inside the Console of a Production or Staging instance.

Plan requirement: The backup feature requires allow_backup. On plans that do not include it, a plan restriction message is shown with an upgrade link.

Creating a Backup

Click Create Backup to open the backup creation modal. Choose one of two backup scopes:

Scope	What is included
Database only	PostgreSQL dump of the instance database
Database + Filestore	Database dump AND all uploaded attachments/documents (filestore)

Click Create to queue the backup job. The backup appears in the list once the job completes. A full backup with a large filestore may take several minutes.

Backup List

Each backup entry shows:

Backup type (database only or full)
File size
Time since creation (e.g., "3 hours ago")

Downloading a Backup

Click the Download button next to any backup to download the archive to your local machine.

Restoring a Backup

Click Restore next to the backup you want to apply. A confirmation prompt is shown. Restoring replaces the current database (and filestore, for full backups) with the backup content.

Warning: Restore is a destructive operation. The current database state will be permanently overwritten. Always ensure you have a recent backup before restoring.

Deleting a Backup

Click Delete next to a backup. Confirm in the dialog. Deleted backups cannot be recovered.

Automated Backups

Backups can be scheduled to run automatically from the instance's Settings → Odoo sub-tab. Set the Backup Schedule field to one or more times in HH:MM format (space-separated). For example, 02:00 14:00 schedules backups at 2 AM and 2 PM daily.
