Scheduled backups
InsForge Cloud takes a full backup of every active project on a paid plan once a day, retained for 7 days. The Scheduled Backups list shows when each backup expires, and any of them can be restored at any time. Manual backups don’t affect the daily schedule.Manual backups
Click Create a Backup before a risky change and optionally give it a name. The backup runs in the background; the list shows its status, size, and creation time, and lets you rename or delete it. The Free plan includes 1 manual backup slot, paid plans include 5, and manual backups are kept until you delete them.Restore
Click Restore next to any completed backup — scheduled or manual. Restoring replaces the current database with the backup: the project is offline during the restore, data created after the backup is lost, and the action can’t be undone, so take a manual backup first if you’re unsure.Self-hosting
Self-hosted deployments have the same Backup & Restore page for manual backups and restores. Backups are stored alongside your project’s storage (local disk, or your S3 bucket when configured) and kept until you delete them. The official Docker image needs no extra setup.More resources
