Backup

Requires Premium

Backup is a Premium feature.

Run a hot, consistent backup while the server keeps serving. Open Backup database… from the command palette.

  1. Confirm or edit the server path — a sensible timestamped default is suggested (e.g. /var/lib/elyrasql/backup-<timestamp>.edb).
  2. Click Back up.

The client runs BACKUP TO '<path>' on the server; the status bar reports completion.

The path is on the server

The backup file is written on the server host (where ElyraSQL runs), not on your local machine. The path must be writable by the server, and the target must not already exist.

Roadmap

Scheduled backups, S3 targets and in-app restore are planned. Today, restore is performed with the server's elyrasql restore command.
