Postgres Backup
Managed PostgreSQL backups for $1 per database
Paste a database URL once and OneBuck.dev takes a daily logical backup, stores it durably, and lets you download any of the last seven snapshots. The promise is simple: you can get your data back.
$1 / database / month
One slot covers one PostgreSQL database, a daily backup and the last 7 snapshots.
What it does
- Daily logical backup — a scheduled
pg_dumpin custom format with--no-owner --no-privileges. - Durable storage — each snapshot is stored in object storage.
- Retention — keeps the last 7 snapshots per database and prunes older ones.
- Credential protection — database credentials are encrypted at rest with application-level AES-GCM.
- Download — any snapshot can be downloaded from the dashboard as a
.dumpfile.
