One backup, five copies
If your server disk fails, the same backup is already waiting in Google Drive, Dropbox or S3. Turn on as many destinations as you need.
Now on Odoo 20
Automatic Odoo backups, every night, without you.
Auto Backup dumps your PostgreSQL database and filestore on a schedule, then sends copies to local disk, an SFTP server, Google Drive, Dropbox and Amazon S3 at the same time.

Set it once. Stop thinking about backups.
Everything is configured from General Settings in Odoo. No scripts on the server, no cron files to maintain.
Runs on schedule
An Odoo scheduled action runs it. A missed run is retried on its own.
Attachments included
The filestore is saved too, so restored invoices still have their PDFs.
A log you can read
Every run is recorded with status, size and a progress meter.
Fine with big databases
Gzip compression and chunked Dropbox uploads for files over 150 MB.

Inside Odoo
See every screen before you buy
Five screens cover the whole module: a health dashboard, the backup job form, run history, schedule settings and built-in help.
Know every backup is healthy in five seconds
Open the Backups app and the first line tells you whether every automatic backup is healthy and when the last good one finished.
- Health cards: active jobs, 30-day success rate, failures and next scheduled run.
- 14-day chart: green bars for good runs, red for failed ones, so a missed night stands out.
- Job cards: database, destination, retention and last result, with Run now and History buttons.
Set up a backup job in one screen
Pick a destination tile, then fill three short tabs: where files go, which database to dump, and how long to keep old copies.
- Test connection checks credentials and folder before the first run.
- Run backup now starts a manual backup whenever you need one.
- Each run posts the saved file path in the chatter. The filestore gets its own folder.
A record of every run
History keeps each backup with its job, database, destination, start and end time, duration, file size and status.
- The trigger column shows whether a run was manual, scheduled or imported.
- Failed runs can create a to-do on the job, so someone is assigned to look.
- A weekly cleanup removes history older than the days you set. Enter 0 to keep it all.
Schedule and retention from Settings
Backups has its own page in Odoo Settings. Turn automatic backups on, set the interval and see the next run without opening the scheduled action.
- Run every active job on a fixed interval, or open the advanced schedule.
- Delete backup files older than a set number of days, per job.
- Turn on failure notifications and history cleanup in the Monitoring block.
Setup instructions inside the form
The Help tab on every job explains what to enter, so you rarely leave Odoo to finish the setup.
- Which database values to copy from the Odoo config file.
- What each dump format is for and how to write folder paths per destination.
- How to create Google Drive OAuth credentials and Amazon S3 keys.
