Backups of databases are generally too complicated, specially MongoDB (which we use for anxiety tests), but thanks to SimpleBackups, we just setup a job in dashboard and the rest will take care of itself. Fantastic life-saver!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DBaaS backup service?
A database backup service is a solution that facilitates the creation, storage, and management of backup copies of your database's data and configurations. It ensures data integrity and recoverability by allowing you to create duplicate copies of your database at specific points in time. This service helps safeguard your critical data from accidental deletion, data corruption, hardware failures, and other unforeseen incidents.
What does DBaaS stand for?
DBaaS stands for Database-as-a-Service. It's a cloud computing service model that provides users with access to a managed database environment. Instead of setting up and maintaining their own database infrastructure, users can leverage a DBaaS provider's resources to store, manage, and operate databases.
What is a managed database?
A managed database refers to a database system that is handled and maintained by a third-party provider. This provider takes care of tasks such as setup, configuration, security, maintenance, monitoring, and performance optimization. Users can interact with the database while the provider manages its infrastructure and ensures its smooth operation.
Can I download a Backup?
Absolutely! You can download your backup using a signed link on your local machine or right on your server. Everything is managed easily from our UI or API.
Also, if you've connected your own storage account, you can download your backup directly to your storage account.
Is PlanetScale's own backup service sufficient for my data protection needs?
PlanetScale's backup service is designed to meet the data protection and recovery needs of applications built on their platform.
While PlanetScale built-in solution is great for development environment it is not suitable for a production backup policy: relying on your database provider's to also manage your backups is a risky strategy that can lead to data loss.
It's important to align your backup strategy with your business's specific requirements.
Depending on your compliance and risk considerations, you might choose to complement PlanetScale's backup service with additional backup solutions or disaster recovery strategies.
