How do I back up my app on App Platform?
App Platform does not support code backups because your app’s code is already stored in the repository that you used to deploy your app. If you have deployed faulty code, you can roll back to a previous version of your app.
App Platform’s dev databases do not support backups. If you want to back up the data in your app’s dev database, we recommend upgrading to DigitalOcean Managed Databases, which work natively with App Platform and support backups and restoration, datacenter migration, and other features. Because dev databases lack these features, we do not recommend using dev databases in production environments.
