Backups Overview

Blossom provides multiple backup solutions: Database Backups and Server Backups. Each offers unique advantages.

Database Backups

Purpose: Protect your application data stored in databases.

How They Work:

  • Creates dump files (SQL exports for relational DBs, RDB/archive for NoSQL)
  • Uploads to cloud storage (S3-compatible providers)
  • Supports off-site storage for disaster recovery
  • Can be restored to any compatible database server

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and Redis.

See Database Backups.

Server Backups

Purpose: Protect your entire server.

How They Work:

  • Creates crash-consistent snapshots/images of entire server disks
  • Stored in your cloud provider’s infrastructure
  • Survives accidental server deletion from the cloud provider side
  • Multi-provider support - Works with AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, and OVHcloud
  • No other platform in this space offers this
