Scheduling Backups

Set up automatic backup schedules for your services.

Automatic backups ensure your data is always protected without manual intervention. You can configure backup schedules per service with different frequencies.

#Available frequencies

Frequency How often
Hourly Every hour
Daily Once per day
Weekly Once per week
Monthly Once per month

#Setting up a schedule

#1. Open the service

Navigate to the Odoo service you want to schedule backups for.

#2. Edit backup settings

In the service settings, find the Backup section.

#3. Choose a frequency

Select how often you want backups to run. For production services, daily is recommended at minimum.

#4. Save

Save the settings. Backups will begin running automatically on schedule.

Service type Recommended frequency
Live (production) Daily or Hourly
Test Weekly
Demo Monthly or none
Copy None (typically temporary)

For business-critical live services, consider hourly backups. The storage cost is minimal compared to the risk of data loss.

#Retention

Old backups can be automatically cleaned up based on your retention settings. This helps manage storage costs while keeping enough backup history to recover from issues.

#Monitoring backups

You can see all backups for a service in the Backups tab, including:

  • When each backup was created
  • Its status (completed, failed, etc.)
  • File size
  • Download link

If a scheduled backup fails, check the Actions log for the service. Common issues include full disks, network problems, or expired storage credentials.
