Backup & Restore

Overview

All Omni data is stored in PostgreSQL. Backing up your database ensures you can recover:

User accounts and settings
Connector configurations
Indexed documents and search index
Chat history

Backup

Docker Compose

If you haven’t already, set up the alias:

alias omni-compose="docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --env-file .env"

omni-compose exec postgres pg_dump -U omni omni | gzip > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz

AWS (Terraform)

Postgres runs as an ECS task. Use ECS Exec to run the backup:

aws ecs execute-command --cluster omni --task <postgres-task-id> \
  --container postgres --interactive \
  --command "pg_dump -U omni omni" | gzip > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql.gz

Restore

Docker Compose

gunzip < backup.sql.gz | omni-compose exec -T postgres psql -U omni omni

AWS (Terraform)

gunzip < backup.sql.gz | aws ecs execute-command --cluster omni --task <postgres-task-id> \
  --container postgres --interactive \
  --command "psql -U omni omni"

Restoring will overwrite existing data. Stop all Omni services before restoring.

Recommendations

Daily backups for production instances
Test restores periodically to verify backup integrity
Store backups offsite or in a different region than your primary deployment
