Backups

Only Postgres databases are backed up. For each one, you can run a backup now and list the backups.

What is backed up

• Postgres databases.

These are not backed up:

• Redis databases.
• Files an app writes to its own disk.
• Objects in your storage buckets.

Keep your own copy of your code and of any data you cannot recreate.

Run a backup now

astris database backup --id <id>

It prints Backup run. The MCP tool database with the action backup and the database_id does the same.

List the backups

astris database backups --id <id>

It prints one line per backup: the key, the size in bytes and the time it was written. The MCP tool database with the action backups gives the same list.

Redis

For a Redis database, both calls are refused with conflict:

Other refusals

• An id that is not one of your databases is refused with not_found.
• A Postgres database with no backup job is refused with conflict.
• When Astris cannot run or list the backups, the call is refused with unavailable or upstream.
• A list can also be refused with backup_not_configured (503) or backup_unavailable (502).

Restore

A restore is not a call the MCP or the CLI makes.

Your plan's pool

Backups do not count against your plan's pool. See Usage.
