Automated Postgres backups

Managed Postgres services receive scheduled logical backups via pg_dump on the control plane. Backups are stored under data/backups/postgres/ on the gateway host.

Schedule

Set ISOWARD_POSTGRES_BACKUP_INTERVAL_MS (default: 24 hours). Retention is controlled by ISOWARD_POSTGRES_BACKUP_KEEP (default: 7 dumps per service). Legacy BREACHFIX_CLOUD_* names still work.

API

  • GET /v1/services/:id/backups: list backup metadata
  • POST /v1/services/:id/backups: trigger a manual backup
