How-to guides

Short, tested instructions for the tasks a backup service asks of you: connecting a project, reading a recovery point, and running a restore.

Looking for product details rather than instructions? Read the Supabase backups overview or security overview.

Back up your first Supabase project

Connect Supabase, choose a project and create your first verified recovery point.

Set up

Manage backup policy and stored data
Change a project schedule, retention period or data region, and remove recovery data.

Monitor and restore

Check what a recovery point contains
Open a recovery point, check each component and find the actions that still need an owner.
Review a backup verification result
Find the restore-test result, inspect its evidence and respond to a failed verification.
Restore a recovery point
Choose between an in-place rollback and recovery into a separate empty Supabase project.

Troubleshooting

Configure Supabase Network Restrictions
Add the outbound backup IP addresses to a project's database allowlist.
