# NEXUS AI Backups

NEXUS AI supports backup and restore operations for supported database services.

## Capabilities

Authenticated backup routes support:

- creating a backup;
- listing backups;
- uploading a backup;
- restoring a backup;
- restoring a backup into another compatible service;
- creating a signed download URL; and
- scheduling backup behavior where supported.

## Authentication

Backup operations require NEXUS authentication. Backup download URLs are bearer capabilities; treat them as secrets and do not log or publish them.

## Safety

Agents should create a backup before potentially destructive database operations whenever possible. Do not delete backups unless explicitly authorized. Verify database engine compatibility and the target service before a restore.
