Hello, I am looking for help backing up the data in my database in a format that would allow me to easily recover my database in the event of a catastrophe. I have budget, and I’d like to hire someone, ideally someone who I’ve interacted with on here previously—if you ever helped me out with advice, please send me a quote.
I think @lindsay_knowcode can help you with his PlanBBackups service. It will be cheaper and more secure than hiring a person (that will probably just use this service)
Thanks for the mention @ademiguel
PlanB does daily
- data (csv files)
- App export
- Change logs
- Files in the file manager
- logs
And can put it into your own AWS Bucket.
@zach8 this doesn’t help you out today as it is not available yet, but below is a video demonstrating the feature I’m working on presently for my plugin Data Jedi. It allows you to export your data in a variety of file formats, and have a base64 encoded value for it (easy to send via API to other systems).
As I am building this out, I’m not sure if I will be doing nested (related) data exports for Bubble DB records or not. Basically if not exporting as nested data it would export just with the ID of the related data field entry. More than likely I’ll have it as an optional yes/no field for added flexibility.
But, I will be adding in support for this to run in backend workflows as well as client side. I’m also going to add the functionality of uploading the file into your bubble file manager (I don’t think there is much reason for it in terms of backups, but for other use cases of the exporting of data there is good reason to save the actual file into Bubble db file manager).
This is likely about a month away from release. If you think it might be useful for you, feel free to reach out in a PM.
Hi, thanks for the insight on your service. It seems like it is very thorough. I don’t have an AWS plan independent of Bubble. What I’m most interested in is backing up to duplicate hard drives for redundancy.
If I were to purchase your service, and set up an AWS plan, I’m assuming it would be simple enough to download the files from AWS? I guess my question here is: how are the files packaged? My primary concern is recovering and restoring the database in case of any issues.
Would your service be an effective way to restore the database?
This seems very thorough. I’m having trouble getting the video to load, but I can definitely see how this would help me out. I’ll be looking forward to seeing it when it’s done.
You optionally have your own Bucket (more for enterprise folks) or just use the external AWS external storage the service has as default.
Perhaps just start a trial. See how it works in practice, you download importable csv files from the UI of the data.
Optionally export to Supabase. More for the migration folks.
Will be around a month. When done will have some free resources to learn how to use it and implement it into an app for different use cases as it allows backups of any data that can be sent anywhere, so you could enable users to backup their data from your app into their own external system of choice. It is very flexible in how to utilize it.
