Steps

  1. Configure an S3-compatible destination first — it's a hard prerequisite for any backup
  2. Navigate to Web Server → Backups and select Create Backup
  3. Choose the S3 destination and (optionally) configure the backup schedule with a cron expression
  4. Dokploy backs up the dokploy-postgres database and the /etc/dokploy filesystem, zips both together, and uploads the archive to S3
  5. Test restoration via Web Server → Backups → Restore Backup, selecting the S3 destination and the specific backup file
