1. Set up PortaBase agents on your database servers to create automated backups that stay completely within your own infrastructure without sending data to third-party services
2. Use the centralized dashboard to browse and select from your retained backup snapshots, then initiate one-click restores to the same server or different target databases
3. Configure custom retention policies that automatically manage backup lifecycles while preserving the specific restore points you need for compliance or recovery scenarios
4. Schedule regular backup jobs across PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB databases from one interface, ensuring consistent restore points without manual intervention
5. Monitor backup status and receive instant notifications when issues occur, so you can quickly address problems before they impact your ability to restore critical data
