Hi,

I need to download one of my backed up DB from a few days ago, how can I do this? It only gives me the option to restore or lock but not to dowload

I usually use DUFS (https://github.com/sigoden/dufs) to download / inspect volumes from backups. It is easy to setup. You have to create a DUFS container and then to mount the "restored" backup-volume to the container.

Apart from DUFS, there's also a File Browser template that you might find useful (https://railway.com/template/Nan7Bs)

Just to verify, are you fine with downloading the live database or wish to only download the backup? What are you trying to do with your backed up DB?

Connect from external app and download current data. Restore old one and download it. Then restore on external app latest local backup.

Thank you for the suggestions. What I want to do was download a backed up DB from a day ago so I could restore some records that were deleted by mistake on the current DB, its really important to have an option to download the backedup DB as a gziped file - I think RW needs to consider this options as it will save tons of time and we would not need to take a dump and push to external services like AWS S3

You can download the whole DB directory via DUFS (or with other file browsers) as gzip file and restore it locally.
