Database Auto-Backup

Schedule database backups to local storage or SFTP.

Developed by 2BIT Digital GmbH — your Swiss Odoo partner for payroll, accounting, eCommerce, manufacturing and custom business solutions.

Overview

Administrators can configure recurring Odoo database backups with retention rules and optional SFTP transfer.

The module stores backup configurations, runs scheduled backups, can include or exclude the filestore, and logs backup activity in the chatter.

Why You Need This Module

Reliable backups are essential for recovery, audits, and operational continuity. Manual database exports are easy to forget and hard to standardize.

This module gives administrators a repeatable backup configuration inside Odoo.

Which Problems It Solves

• Manual database backup routines that depend on individual users
• No central backup retention configuration
• Separate handling for local and SFTP backup storage

Key Benefits For Administrators

• Scheduled database backups
• Configurable retention period
• Local and SFTP storage options

How It Works

• Create a database backup configuration with target folder, backup format, retention period, and storage method.
• Use local disk or configure SFTP connection details.
• Run backups manually or through the scheduled action.
• Old backups can be cleaned up based on the configured retention period.
