Backups Overview

Backups are essential for protecting your business data. hav.sh provides a complete backup system that captures your Odoo database and all uploaded files, storing them safely in cloud storage.

#What's included in a backup?

Each backup contains:

• Database — The full PostgreSQL database with all your Odoo data (contacts, invoices, orders, settings, etc.)
• Filestore — All uploaded files (attachments, images, documents)

Together, these give you a complete snapshot of your Odoo instance at a specific point in time.

#Backup features

#Manual backups

Create a backup at any time with a single click. Useful before making major changes, like upgrading addons or migrating data.

#Scheduled backups

Set up automatic backup schedules to run hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. Never worry about forgetting to back up.

#Cloud storage

Backups are stored in S3-compatible cloud storage (such as AWS S3, MinIO, or Backblaze B2). This means your backups are safe even if your server fails.

#Multiple destinations

Back up each service to several destinations at once — for example the platform's storage plus your own S3 bucket. Each destination has its own schedule and retention, so you can keep hourly backups nearby and a longer archive in a bucket you own. See Multiple Backup Destinations.

#Retention policies

Configure how long backups are kept — independently per destination. hav.sh can automatically delete old backups to manage storage costs.
