Introducing Infrahub Backup

Infrahub Backup is an automated solution designed to streamline the backup and restoration processes for Infrahub environments, which manage critical infrastructure data such as object relationships, schemas, and version histories. By replacing the previously manual, varied, and error-prone backup routines with a unified workflow, it allows teams to easily capture and restore data from Neo4j and PostgreSQL databases using a consistent command-line interface. Infrahub Backup ensures data integrity by coordinating backups, pausing tasks, and packaging data into verifiable archives, while automating the restoration process by replaying steps in dependency order and restarting services. With features like environment detection, data consistency checks, and audit logs, it supports both Docker Compose and Kubernetes deployments, with plans for expanded Kubernetes integration. The tool enhances operational reliability by enabling automated, scheduled backups, recovery drills, and validation following software upgrades, making it a critical component for safeguarding automation data against corruption, failed upgrades, and accidental deletions.
