Quick Start Guide
asyncssh for SFTP support: pip install asyncssh
1. Configure a Storage Provider
Navigate to Database Ultimate Backup Lite > Storage Providers and create a provider:
Option A: Local Storage
- Specify a directory path (e.g.,
/opt/odoo/backups) - Enable disk space checking with minimum free space threshold
- Optionally organize backups in date-based subdirectories
Option B: SFTP Remote Storage
- Enter hostname, port, username, and password
- Specify the remote directory (e.g.,
/home/backups/odoo) - Enable automatic directory creation if needed
Use the Test Connection button to verify the provider is configured correctly.
2. Create a Backup Configuration
Go to Database Ultimate Backup Lite > Backup Configurations > Create
- Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Daily Production Backup")
- Select your backup format (ZIP recommended for full backups)
- Choose your local and/or SFTP storage providers
- Configure retention policy (e.g., keep last 7 backups)
- Enable email notifications if desired
3. Test Your Configuration
Before relying on automated backups:
- Click Test Providers to verify the provider is accessible
- Click Create Backup Now to perform a test backup
- Check Backup Jobs to monitor progress and verify success
- Confirm the backup file exists in your storage location
4. Enable Automated Backups
The module includes a cron job that runs daily by default. To customize:
- Go to Settings > Technical > Automation > Scheduled Actions
- Search for "Database Ultimate Backup Lite Scheduler"
- Adjust the schedule to your preference

Latest Release 19.0.1.4.1
June 12, 2026- Stronger access control for database dumps - creating a database dump now requires the Backup Administrator role (or the automated backup system) and is verified by group membership on every run, instead of relying on a request flag. Read-only Backup Users can no longer trigger a dump.
- Clarified behavior with web database management disabled - documented that scheduled backups intentionally keep working even when
list_db = Falseis set, so access is governed by the Backup Administrator group rather than that server setting. Restrict membership of that group accordingly.
Version 19.0.1.4.0
June 12, 2026- Cloud storage destinations preview (Full edition) - the Storage Providers menu now shows Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage and Google Drive as informational entries marked (Full). They are not enabled in Lite - opening one simply explains what off-site, multi-cloud backups look like in the Full edition.
- Dashboard preview (Full edition) - a new Dashboard entry, marked (Full), shows what the Full edition's real-time monitoring looks like: success rate, total storage and backup trends at a glance. It is a preview, not a Lite feature.
- Full-edition alert channels, highlighted - the Notifications settings now point out that Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram and webhook alerts are available in the Full edition. Lite continues to send the email notifications it always has.
Version 19.0.1.3.0
June 12, 2026- SFTP backups now verify the server's identity - the module remembers your SFTP server's identity on the first connection and checks it on every connection after that, protecting your backups from being intercepted by an impostor server. Fully automatic, no configuration needed - and if the identity ever changes, you get a clear warning with instructions instead of a silent risk.
- Long-running backups are no longer interrupted - on very large databases, a backup running for several hours could have its temporary files removed mid-run by the hourly cleanup job. The cleanup now recognizes a backup that is still in progress and leaves it alone.
Version 19.0.1.2.0
June 01, 2026- Large-database performance - Filestore is streamed straight into the archive (no temp copy), avoiding doubled disk usage on
/tmp - Lower CPU usage - Smarter compression prevents long backups from being killed mid-archive on big filestores (4GB+ supported)
- Hourly safety sweep removes leftover temp files after crashes or restarts
- Clearer error messages (disk full, permissions) and human-readable backup duration
Version 19.0.1.1.0
February 10, 2026- SFTP Remote Storage Provider - Securely transfer backups to any remote SSH/SFTP server with high-performance AsyncSSH transfers
- Password-based SFTP authentication
- Automatic remote directory creation
- Upload verification (file size check)
- Configurable connection and transfer timeouts
- Remote backup management (list, download, delete)
- Remote disk space monitoring
- SFTP provider selection in backup configuration form
- New SFTP Storage menu under Storage Providers
Version 19.0.1.0.0
February 06, 2026- Initial release of Database Ultimate Backup Lite for Odoo 19.0
- Local filesystem storage provider with disk space monitoring
- Automated backup scheduling with cron jobs
- ZIP archives (with filestore) and PostgreSQL dump formats
- Integrity verification of backup files
