Scheduling Backups

Automatic backups ensure your data is always protected without manual intervention. Schedules are configured per backup destination: each destination a service backs up to has its own frequency and retention, and runs independently of the others. See Multiple Backup Destinations.

Available frequencies #

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 Settings section. Each row is one backup destination with its own schedule.

3. Choose a frequency #

Select how often backups to this destination should run. For production services, daily is recommended at minimum. Leave the frequency empty for a manual-only destination.

Hourly backups are included from the Starter plan on; on Free, a destination backs up at most once a day. See Pricing and billing.

4. Save #

Save the settings. Backups will begin running automatically on schedule — independently for every destination with a frequency set.

Retention #

Old backups can be automatically cleaned up based on your retention settings. Retention is counted per destination — each destination keeps its own number of automatic backups, so a short retention on fast storage can be combined with a long archive elsewhere. 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.)
