Back up PostgreSQL with SimpleBackups

SimpleBackups connects directly to your Sliplane PostgreSQL database, creates backups on a schedule, and stores them in Sliplane Object Storage or another supported providers.

Before you start

You need:

• a managed PostgreSQL database on Sliplane
• a SimpleBackups account

Create the backup

1. Open Create Backup in SimpleBackups.
2. Select Serverless.
3. Set Type to PostgreSQL.
4. Select Connection String and paste the Connection URI copied from your database in the Sliplane dashboard.

Allow SimpleBackups IP addresses (optional)

You can skip this section if your Sliplane database access control allows all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with 0.0.0.0/0 and ::/0.

If access is restricted to specific addresses, according to the SimpleBackups firewall documentation, add the following CIDRs to the database's Access Control rules:

34.227.212.80/32
45.55.63.67/32
3.83.70.104/32
95.216.176.7/32
95.216.142.29/32
95.217.244.243/32
3.66.2.188/32
65.108.217.1/32
2a01:4f9:c011:7bad::1/128
2a01:4f9:c011:4e61::1/128

Finish the configuration

1. Click Validate and wait for Configuration validated.
2. Change the backup name if needed.
3. Under Where do you want to store your backups?, select a backup destination. If you do not have one yet, click Connect new storage. Sliplane Object Storage is supported; see the SimpleBackups Sliplane storage guide.
4. Under When do you want to run your backup?, choose the backup frequency.
5. Click Create and Run.

SimpleBackups runs the first backup immediately and saves it to your selected destination. Future backups run on the schedule you configured and can be monitored from the SimpleBackups dashboard.
