Database Backup and Restore for App Deployments
Back up and restore deployment databases with Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, scheduled snapshots, signed downloads, and cross-service restore.
Backups tied to deployed services
Database service backups are associated with the deployment service and organization. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis workflows use database-native dump or snapshot behavior for portable recovery artifacts.
Restore in place or across services
Use same-service restore to recover the current database, or cross-service restore to seed another deployment in the same organization for staging refreshes, migration testing, and recovery.
UI, CLI, REST, and MCP access
Create backups in the dashboard, call REST from automation, use CLI commands from the terminal, or let an AI agent call scoped MCP backup and restore tools.
App plus database plus worker
A typical NEXUS AI deployment can run a web app, a PostgreSQL database, a Redis queue, and a background worker as one connected service group. The app and worker share the same deployment network, so application code can use internal hostnames such as postgresql and redis instead of hard-coded host ports or external database addresses.
Storage and recovery included
Production apps usually need more than compute. NEXUS AI supports persistent filesystem volumes for apps that write to paths such as /data, S3-compatible buckets for uploads and generated files, database backups, in-place restore, and restore into another compatible service in the same organization.
One workflow across interfaces
The same stack can be managed from the dashboard, CLI, REST API, or MCP tools. Developers can deploy from GitHub, add database services, attach storage, run workers, scale replicas, inspect logs, create backups, and recover data without switching between cloud consoles and hand-built scripts.
Frequently asked questions
Can I back up a Postgres deployment database?
Yes. NEXUS AI supports on-demand and scheduled backups for deployment database services, including PostgreSQL.
Can I restore a backup to another deployment?
Yes. Cross-service restore lets you restore a compatible backup into a different database service within the same organization.
Can AI agents manage database backups?
Yes. MCP tools can create, list, download, restore, restore across services, and schedule database backups when granted the required scopes.
