Automatic database and filestore backups for Odoo 20 (Community & Enterprise), on a schedule you control.
Backups usually fail quietly. The module is built around noticing that early and keeping a good copy somewhere safe.
A red bar in the activity chart and an optional to-do on the job make a missed backup hard to overlook.
Send the same database to a local folder and to the cloud, so a dead disk does not take your backups with it.
Each job deletes files past the age you choose, so the backup folder never fills the disk.
Backups are standard pg_dump output. Any DBA can restore them without this module installed.
Each job has one destination. Add a second job to keep an extra copy away from the server.
Any path the Odoo user can write to.
A NAS or second machine with host, user and path.
A shared folder link or My Drive, signed in with OAuth 2.0.
A folder inside the Dropbox app, authorized from the job.
A bucket and prefix, with keys on the job or in ~/.aws/credentials.
A job holds everything about one backup: the database, the destination, the format and how many days of files to keep.
All formats come from pg_dump. If you are not sure, keep the default custom archive.
| Format | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Custom archive Default | Most databases. Compressed, and pg_restore can bring back a single table. |
| TAR archive | Large databases where you want to pick objects during restore. |
| ZIP archive | A single file to download or hand to someone else. |
| Plain SQL | Tiny databases you might want to open in a text editor. |
| Dump with filestore | Small databases you want to restore in one go from the Odoo database manager. |
The History list answers the usual audit questions: when did the last backup finish, how big was it, and did anything fail this month.
The module has its own page in Settings. Choose the interval, see the next run time and switch on failure notifications without touching scheduled actions.
Add the module to the cart, check out, and download the zip for your Odoo version.
Copy it to your addons path, update the app list and install AutoBackup.
Pick a destination, enter the database and folder, then press Test connection.
Set the interval in Settings and run the first backup by hand to confirm it.
This page sells the Odoo 20 build, for Community and Enterprise. Builds for earlier versions back to Odoo 8.0 are also available. Mention your version when you order or write in if you are unsure.
No. Odoo Online does not allow custom modules, and the module runs pg_dump on the server. You need a self-hosted or on-premise Odoo server with the PostgreSQL client tools installed.
pg_dump on the Odoo server, write access to the target folder, and the account details for any cloud destination: a Google OAuth client, a Dropbox app, or AWS keys for S3. The Help tab on each job explains where to find them.
It creates and manages backups. Restoring uses the normal tools: pg_restore for custom and TAR files, psql for SQL and ZIP, and the Odoo database manager for a dump with filestore.
The same module is listed on the Odoo Apps Store, with the full feature list and screenshots for each version.
