# InsForge Now Supports Backup & Restore

InsForge now supports **Backup & Restore**.

Starting with **v2.0.8**, every project can create long-term database backups and roll back to any of them on demand. More developers are running production workloads on InsForge, and keeping their data recoverable should not require a side script.

You'll find it in the project dashboard under **Database → Database Studio → Backup & Restore**.

## How It Works

Click **Create Backup** to snapshot the current database. Backups are long-term — they stay in the list until you delete them. When you've hit the manual-backup quota, delete an older backup first to free a slot; InsForge will never overwrite a backup on its own.

To roll back, pick a backup from the list and click **Restore**. The project database is restored to that snapshot. That's the whole workflow.

## Plan Limits

| Plan | Manual Backups | Automatic Daily Backups |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free | 1 active backup | — |
| Paid | 5 active backups | 7-day rolling, separate quota |

The action is available on every project. Plans differ only in how many backups you can keep:

- **Free** — one active manual backup. To create another, delete the existing one first.
- **Paid** — up to five active manual backups. Once the slots are full, delete one before taking a new snapshot. Automatic daily backups (a rolling week) live in a separate quota.

## Automatic Daily Backups

For paid projects, InsForge now takes a scheduled backup every day and retains it for seven days. These run in the background and sit outside the manual-backup quota, so you always have a rolling week of recovery points regardless of what you've saved by hand.

Manual and automatic backups restore the same way — one click from the Backup & Restore list.

## Get Started

1. Open your project dashboard
2. Go to **Database → Database Studio → Backup & Restore**
3. Click **Create Backup** to snapshot the current database
4. Restore any backup from the list with one click

If there's backup behavior you'd like to see — export to S3, point-in-time restore, cross-project clone — drop it on the roadmap.
