  • Automatic weekly or monthly backup

  • Access backup data from the download center

  • Send an email and a notification after each backup

  • Ability to set up direct anonymous access to backup data, very useful for developing an automatic processing application for example

  • By choosing "Accessible by all managers": all your collaborators with a Manager account can use the App.

  • By choosing "Accessible only to authorized managers": you must activate the App for the managers of your choice directly in the Managers/Roles > Manager card or Role > Apps tab module, then check at the end of the relevant line.


About the SQL Dump Format

It is essential to understand the generated backup format:

  • The SQL dump is a text file containing all the SQL commands needed to recreate the structure (tables, indexes, constraints) and reload the data.

  • This format is highly technical. It is intended for experienced users (database administrators, developers, data engineers).

  • To use it, you must know how to import this dump into a compatible SQL environment (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), understand the database schema, and ensure that permissions and codecs/encodings are correct.
