Backup and restore
TimescaleDB takes advantage of the reliable backup and restore functionality provided by PostgreSQL. There are a few different mechanisms you can use to backup your self-hosted TimescaleDB database:
- Logical backups with pg_dump and pg_restore.
- Physical backups with
pg_basebackupor another tool. - Ongoing physical backups using write-ahead log (WAL) archiving.
important
If you are using Timescale Cloud, you don't need to manually perform backups! For more information, see the Timescale Cloud backup and restore section.
