Backups

Eyrie supports automated and manual backups for deployments. Backups are stored in S3-compatible object storage provisioned through a cloud provider.

Backup Schedules

Each deployment can have one or more backup schedules:

• daily_triggered — a backup triggered once per day by the Eyrie cron.

• cron_full — a full backup on a custom cron expression.

Create a schedule from the deployment detail page under the Backups tab.

Manual Backup

Click Backup Now on a deployment to trigger a one-time backup. The backup job appears in the job list with backup_type = manual.

Backup Job Lifecycle

A backup runs as a Deployment Job (see Jobs):

1. Job is scheduled.

2. The backup Deployment Book (deployment_backup_book_id) executes.

3. The database dump and filestore are compressed and uploaded to the destination S3 bucket (configured on the scope’s backup_dest_datasource_id).

4. Job reaches done state.

Downloading Backups

From the backup job list, click Download to generate a pre-signed S3 URL. The download link is valid for a limited time.

Restoring a Backup

1. Navigate to the target deployment.

2. Click Restore.

3. Select the backup job to restore from.

4. Eyrie runs the restore Deployment Book (deployment_restore_book_id) which downloads the backup, loads the database, and restores the filestore.
