Backups & Recovery
Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery, cross-region replication, and one-click restore — so you never lose data.
Data loss is not an option when your AI agents depend on your database. Rach.Dev runs automated backups of your PostgreSQL database every 24 hours, with write-ahead log (WAL) archiving that captures every transaction in between. This combination enables point-in-time recovery (PITR), allowing you to restore your database to any specific second within a rolling 30-day window. An accidental schema migration gone wrong at 2:15 PM? Restore to 2:14 PM and try again.
All backups are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and stored in a separate availability zone from your primary database. On Growth and Scale plans, backups are additionally replicated to a different geographic region, protecting against regional outages. You can initiate a restore from the dashboard with a single click, specifying either "latest backup" or an exact timestamp. Restores create a new database instance, so your production database remains untouched until you verify the restore and swap.
For teams that need to manage their own backup strategy, we also provide on-demand backup triggers via the API. You can snapshot your database before a risky migration, download backup files for local testing, or pipe backups to your own S3 bucket for additional retention. Backup health monitoring alerts you if a backup job fails or if WAL archiving falls behind, so you are never silently unprotected.
