Options to Backup Softr Database

Ask the community
1

We’ve started using the built in Softr DB’s and its now our master for a bit of information. What options are there to export or automate a backup process? We host a local SQL db so I’m hoping we could automate a dump of the Softr DB to a local mirrored copy but open to other suggestions as well!

@Logitone I might just use N8N to sync it to Supabase but it is tricky since of so many relationships and column labels that would change. But for me recently I had some data deleted and could not restore it easily even though it was the Softr Database and realized how important this feature is.

I know the Database feature is still new and developing but hopefully someone at Softr can speak to near-future plans in regards to backup options? @Jjenglert ?

Thanks for your question. We already have technical backups on our side, but for the user side, we will be introducing history snapshots in the next two to three months.

Thanks JJ. Have there been any discussions around an export functions?

Yes, export will be coming as well. In the meantime, we can process it manually for those that need it.
