Do you document the manual restore process for those?
No, we haven’t documented it yet, but that’s a good idea. I’ll add it to the backlog, and we’ll work on it soon!
Hi,
The agent need to be on the same network as your database. You can either include the agent in the same Docker Compose setup or create a Docker network to link them. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘persist across restarts.’ Can you clarify? However, it works perfectly fine with databases running in Docker.
For Redis and Valkey, hot restores are unfortunately not supported. You need to stop the services and perform some manual operations. This limitation is why backups are mainly useful for disaster recovery rather than live rollback.
Feel free to ask any other questions or clarification if needed.
Currently, the backup process is logical. Incremental backups are not implemented yet, as supporting them across multiple database systems (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, etc.) would require significant development effort.
The system relies on the database’s native tools when possible, such as pg_dump for PostgreSQL or mongodump for MongoDB. Table-level backups are not currently supported, but could be introduced in the future if there is enough demand.
