Backups
VeloDB Cloud lets you back up databases to object storage — either on a recurring schedule or as a one-time task — and restore data from any retained backup set to help keep your warehouse highly available.
Open Backups from the Manage group in the left navigation.
Create a backup plan
On the Backups page, click Create Backup Plan. A warehouse can run either a periodic plan or a one-time plan; creating or updating a plan overwrites the previous one.
Periodic backup
For a periodic plan, choose whether to enable it, the backup cycle, start time, backup objects, retention days, and the cluster used to perform the backup. Save to apply.
One-time backup
For a one-time plan, pick the start time, backup objects, retention days, and the cluster used to perform the backup. Save to apply.
Parameter reference
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Backup Every | Choose any combination from Monday to Sunday (at least one day, at most seven). |
| Start Time | The time at which each backup run starts. |
| Backup Objects | Internal Catalog: the full database. External Catalog: DDL only, not data. |
| Backup Retention Days | Backup sets older than this are cleaned up automatically. |
| Backup Cluster | Backups consume compute. When the warehouse has multiple clusters, pick the cluster to use. |
