Backups
Backup and restore
Manual backup support, backup history, retained artifacts, and the current restore limitation.
Parix currently supports manual backup creation, but not restore.
When manual backups are available
The current product enables manual backups only when:
- the database profile exists
- the profile status is
active - the provider is Fly or GCP
If those conditions are not met, the dashboard disables the action and shows the reason.
What the backups page shows
The current page includes:
- a "Create new backup" action
- backup history for the selected date range
- backup status, size, and relative timestamps
- storage summary for selected backups
Backup job state is currently tracked with statuses such as:
queuedrunningcompletedfailed
Artifact retention
Backup snapshots are retained in control-plane history even after database deletion. This keeps artifacts discoverable even when the live deployment is gone.
Current restore status
Restore is not part of the current shipped product surface:
- restore from backup is out of scope in the current product contract
- the UI shows point-in-time recovery controls as coming soon
If you need the current product boundary spelled out separately, see Point-in-time recovery.
