SimpleBackups updates simplebackups.io

SimpleBackups will automatically retry running your failed scheduled backups whenever possible to avoid missing backup runs resulting from temporary issues.

Some of the situations where we will retry taking your backups:

• Too many connections error
• Can't connect to MySQL server
• Connection to your server timed out
• MySQL query execution was interrupted
• Lost connection to MySQL server during query

We will let you know if your backup schedule needs adjustment and if there is a possibility of having overlapping backup runs ⚡️

You can now see some useful stats when you view your backups like:

• The upcoming scheduled runs
• The average time it takes to complete each backup
• The total time spent for a currently running backup
• A heads up when a currently running backup is taking more than usual
• Advice about what your backups schedule should be if it is not correctly set

We have refined the backups dashboard to give it a cleaner and a more organized look.

For those who have many backups, we have added a search box and some filters to easily find your backups.

You can filter by Active/Paused backups, Database/File/Full backups, search by backup name, status, storage name or server name.

🧪 We are excited to announce that MongoDB backups are finally here. You can connect to Mongo with or without authentication, both methods are supported.
