What Database Vault is
Database Vault is a cloud service for scheduled backups of PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase, and Supabase. It supports hourly, daily, weekly, or custom backup intervals, and lets users review backup history and restore a point-in-time snapshot, including to a new database. The service monitors backup failures, retries automatically, and provides notifications and operation logs. Its dashboard shows backup frequency, storage use, and success rates. Database Vault says it encrypts backups with AES-256 before storage and protects connection strings at rest without logging them. It describes its infrastructure as Google Cloud Platform and advertises a 99.9% uptime SLA for backup operations. The free plan includes weekly backups, 1 GB of storage, and seven-day retention. Starter costs $9 a month and covers up to three databases; Pro costs $15 a month and covers up to ten, with manual or instant backups, 30-day retention, and 50 GB of storage. Backups remain accessible for 30 days after cancellation.
