App Platform does not support backups, but you can use DigitalOcean Managed Databases to back up your data.
I got a Permission Denied error when running a SnapShooter backup.

SnapShooter’s backup scripts run from the tmp folder. If your tmp folder is mounted with the NOEXEC flag, bash is not allowed to run the script, causing an error:
/bin/bash: /tmp/rclone-aws Permission Denied
To fix this error, you can remount the tmp directory with exec permissions:
mount -o remount exec /tmpAlternatively, in SnapShooter, you can set the backup engine to use the user’s home directory as a target location instead of the tmp directory by editing the server connection.
