Backups

The database Backups page shows the automatic daily backups and any manually created backups you’ve made of your database. You can also restore a backup, create a new manual backup, or delete a manual backup.

Database backups are excluded when calculating your total disk space (i.e. storage).

Daily backups

Databases are automatically backed up daily, and each backup is stored for 7 days.

Manual backups

You can manually create a database backup at any time, up to 5 manual backups, which are stored for 14 days. If you need to make more than 5 manual backups in 14 days, you’ll need to delete one of the manual backups to make room for a new one.

To create a manual backup, click Back up now, enter a note to identify your backup (required), and click Create manual backup.

Restore a backup

You can restore automatic or manual backups in MyKinsta.

To restore a backup, click Restore next to the backup you want to restore, enter the database name, and click Restore backup.

The restoration may take several minutes or more, depending on the size of your database.
