Back up a database

Backups protect your data before migrations, schema changes, password rotation, or any risky production maintenance.

Create a backup

curl -X POST https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/databases/db_001/backups \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key"

List existing backups with GET /api/databases/:databaseId/backups and download any of them with GET /api/databases/:databaseId/backups/:backupId/download.

Restore

curl -X POST https://api.hyzecloud.com/api/databases/db_001/restore \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer hyze_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "backupId": "backup_db_001" }'

Restoring replaces the current data of the target database. Double-check the databaseId before running this in production.

Recommended routine

Manual backup before every schema change or large import
Backup before rotating the database password
Download important backups to external storage — don’t rely on the platform alone
