PostgreSQL plugin backups

planned

jlin

Could we get automated backups for PostgreSQL data? Seems like it could all be deleted accidentally with 1 click with the "Wipe Plugin Data" button.

This is a show stopper for my current use case (wish I would have found that backups are not supported out of the box before I spent time getting it working). Hope to see this added soon. 
Requirements driving this decision:
* Do not want to have to setup another account at another cloud provider (Amazon) to have data protection.
* Even if I did, this is a project for a non-profit that is 100% volunteer and I want to focus my time on the app not on the devops.

Hey y'all, we pushed out a workaround in the form of a service that automatically backs up your PostgreSQL database to S3. Read more about it on our blog: https://blog.railway.app/p/automated-postgresql-backups

Option to change frequency of backups in the UI itself for large websites handling large user data, could be with additional charge as well maybe

We currently don't do backups, but we're planning on doing this at a later date

Merged in a post:

One-click database reversion and download

Daniel Sieradski

Add a database snapshot history and buttons to manually create a new snapshot, revert to a prior snapshot, and download a snapshot.

We do backups every 24h and keep a rolling 14 days, but this is for only our internal usage. We can't expose it at this time.

Having this would be great. Even allowing us to input S3 compatible credentials to have it in our own buckets would be great as well

Ryan Dowling: +1 would want to do backups to a third party like tarsnap.com
