Database exports and imports are available for all the following addons at the moment:
PostgreSQL

Elasticsearch
Manual exports
To use this feature, simply navigate to the "Export" section of your addon page.
The exported file will be in a format importable in any of your addon's instances. You can import it within NeetoDeploy using the Import tab as well.

If you are importing a local backup, please refer to this document on how to take the local backup.

Click the checkbox and give the desired backup time
Click the Save changes button
Upload to S3
You also have the option to upload the exports made by the scheduler to an external S3 bucket. All you have to do is provide the credentials for NeetoDeploy to access the bucket:
