Backup unlocks the admin Backup page: schedule remote snapshots of PostgreSQL and/or the application tree over SSH and rsync.

What you get

Database dumpOptional pg_dump of the site database to the remote backup destination.
Website / app filesOptional rsync of the application root to a remote server over SSH (key or password).
Schedule & retentionRun off, hourly, daily, or monthly; keep a retention count or overwrite a current snapshot.
Admin Backup pageConfigure destination, test SSH, and review runs from the dedicated Backup admin screen.

Screenshots

Backup pre-flight checks dashboard — Admin → Backup: status cards and pre-flight checks for pg_dump, rsync, SSH, and disk space.

Backup schedule and SSH destination settings — What to backup, schedule period, and remote SSH destination (host, path, key).

Backup retention and run history — SSH auth test, retention (keep N backups), save settings, and run history.

What you’ll achieve

Recover the database and app after a bad deploy or server failure.
Keep backups on infrastructure you control.
Run a repeatable schedule instead of manual dumps.

Good to know: Backup does not include the upload/storage folder or member files on disk or object storage. Website rsync also excludes node_modules, .next, .git, backup folders, and .env files. Keep separate redundancy for uploaded content.
