Backups
The database Backups page shows the automatic daily backups and any manually created backups you’ve made of your database. You can also restore a backup, create a new manual backup, or delete a manual backup.
Database backups are excluded when calculating your total disk space (i.e. storage).
Daily Backups
Databases are automatically backed up daily, and each backup is stored for 7 days.

Manual Backups
You can manually create a database backup at any time, up to 5 manual backups, which are stored for 14 days. If you need to make more than 5 manual backups in 14 days, you’ll need to delete one of the manual backups to make room for a new one.
To create a manual backup, click Backup now, enter a note to identify your backup (required), and click Create manual backup.
