Are back-ups created for storage?

[nthouliss]

I know that the database is backed-up on the paid tiers, however does this extend to Storage? I know that the documentation says this:

Database backups do NOT include objects stored via the Storage API, as the database only includes metadata about these objects. Restoring an old backup will not restore objects that have been deleted since then.

I suppose I'm a little confused in the wording in the last sentence and I just want to be sure, are the buckets with their objects also get backed up regularly? If they don't is there any mechanism that I can use to do this?

Cheers :)

Hi @nthouliss, the objects are stored in AWS S3 which has extremely high durability (99.999999999%). So there is very little chance that your objects are lost.

However, the objects are not part of the daily backup. So if you delete an object from storage, it is permanently deleted. Even if you restore a backup from before the object was deleted, it won't restore the deleted object.

We have a feature where you can bring your own storage bucket to our hosted platform. With that in place, you can snapshot the objects in Storage and back them up based on your requirements.

It's less that I'm worried about system failure and more that I want to be assured that I'm protecting against myself.

Is there any official documentation around this? I can't seem to find it. I have seen mentions of it around GitHub issues/discussions but I wasn't aware that this was released or how to go about doing it.

Hey @nthouliss, ah that was a typo on my side. We haven't launched that yet. You can track our progress here

No worries, are there any conversations about allowing object versioning on the hosted version of the site? This would really help in the idea of protecting users against themselves.

This is definitely needed

I would love to see a backup solution for Supasebase storage too, especially to keep the key proposition as a paas with batteries included. happy to pay extra for it too.

Er... can you please enable the versioning feature on the S3 buckets please and expose it via your API. Thank you <3

I am assuming your using AWS S3
