Tutorial: Automated Database Backup

Why Automated Backup Matters

Data loss is one of the biggest risks for any online business. Automated database backup ensures that your data is recoverable in case of any issues.

Setting Up Automated Backup

To get started, log into the Novin Cloud management panel and navigate to the database section. Then follow these steps:

  • Select database: Choose your target database from the list.
  • Set schedule: Define the backup frequency (hourly, daily, or weekly).
  • Choose storage location: Specify where backups should be stored (Object Storage or separate server).
  • Set retention policy: Define how many backup versions to retain.

Restoring from Backup

When you need to restore, simply go to the backups section in the management panel, select the desired version, and initiate the restore process. Recovery typically takes between a few minutes to an hour depending on database size.

Conclusion

Automated backup is one of the most important measures for data protection. With Novin Cloud's features, you can easily automate this process.
