Python Dependency

External Dependency Required

This module requires boto3 the official AWS SDK for Python to communicate with Amazon S3. Install it on your Odoo server before activating the module.

Install Command
bash
# Install boto3 on your Odoo server
$ pip3 install boto3
bash — virtualenv / Odoo.sh
# If using a virtualenv or Odoo.sh
$ /path/to/odoo/venv/bin/pip install boto3
Module Manifest Declaration
__manifest__.py
# Declared in the module manifest
'external_dependencies': {
    'python': ['boto3'],
},
Auto-detected by Odoo
Odoo checks for boto3 at module install time and warns if missing.
Official AWS SDK
boto3 is Amazon's official Python library for all AWS service integrations.
One-time setup
Install once on your server no reinstall needed for module updates.

Key Features

Each feature is engineered to eliminate risk and reduce manual effort, ensuring your database is always protected on Amazon S3.

01 / Backup

Automated Backup System

Configure once backups run on your chosen schedule. Completely hands-free.

Cron Powered

The core Auto Backup feature works seamlessly with Odoo's native Cron scheduler. Configure once to automatically generate and upload database snapshots to your S3 bucket completely hands-free.

01
"Set-it-and-forget-it" cron integration
Odoo's scheduler runs your backup on your chosen frequency automatically.
02
Silent background execution
Backups run quietly without affecting your team's workflow.
03
1-Click manual backup override
Trigger an instant snapshot anytime before a major update or deployment.

Your data never touches unauthorized servers. We use official AWS IAM credentials to securely authenticate and transfer your Odoo data directly to your chosen S3 bucket.

01
Access Key & Secret Key protocols
Authenticate using AWS's own secure IAM credential system.
02
Built-in connection test
Validate your credentials and boto3 setup before you start sending data.
03
Easy disconnect & reset
Securely clear and reset credentials to switch accounts or revoke access at any time.
02 / Security

Enterprise-Grade Security

Zero unauthorized access. Official AWS IAM protocols keep credentials locked down.

AWS IAM
03 / Storage

Smart Storage Retention

Automated cleanup keeps your S3 bucket lean. You set the rules it handles the rest.

Auto Cleanup

Cloud storage costs money. Our built-in retention algorithm automatically scans your S3 bucket and purges outdated backups based on the exact policy you specify.

01
Keep Last X Backups
Retain only the most recent X objects older ones are automatically removed.
02
Keep for X Days
Deletes any backup objects older than your configured day threshold.
03
Keep All (None)
Optionally disable the retention policy to store all backups indefinitely.

We don't just backup text. The module exports your entire database in two formats, with an optional toggle to include your Odoo filestore (images, documents, attachments).

01
Full database SQL dumps
Every table, record, and relation in your Odoo DB fully exported as a lightweight .sql file.
02
Optional Filestore inclusion
Toggle on to include images, PDFs, and attachments alongside your database export.
03
Dual format uploads to S3
Both .sql and .zip archives uploaded per backup run maximum flexibility for restoration.
04 / Archives

Comprehensive Archives

Dual .sql & .zip exports of your database and filestore nothing left behind.

Dual Format
05 / Scope

Multi-Database Control

Backup all databases or just the ones that matter independently for auto and manual.

Flexible Scope

Not every database needs to be backed up the same way. Choose independent scope settings for automated and manual backups giving you full control over what gets uploaded to S3 and when.

01
All Databases
Automatically sync every database in your Odoo environment on each run.
02
Selected Databases
Pick specific databases to avoid backing up demo or test environments unnecessarily.
03
Independent auto & manual scopes
Your auto-backup can run on All DBs while manual can target just one fully separated configs.
