Redis 6 · 7 · 8 & Valkey · self-hosted & managed
Take schedule backups of any Redis server. Whether it is self-hosted, running in Docker, Redis Cloud, Upstash or Amazon ElastiCache. Backup Redis database without restarting the server or using its disk.
Download Redis Backup software to create backups and save your database to local computer, network storage, cloud services or SFTP/FTP server.
Redis is used for more than caching. It can store sessions, queues, rate limits, leaderboards, feature flags and important application data. A Redis database backup software allows you create a separate copy of this data so it can be restored when needed. Accidental commands can also remove data instantly. A separate logical backup gives you a safer way to backup Redis database and restore it to the same or another Redis server, including managed Redis services.
One command against the wrong instance, a migration script pointed at production, or a DEL with a broad pattern empties a keyspace instantly. A backup from last night puts the keys back, with their expiry times intact.
Redis keeps its data in memory; when the host dies, so does anything that was not persisted somewhere else. A copy stored on another machine or in the cloud lets you RESTORE into a fresh server in minutes.
Redis Cloud, Upstash and ElastiCache do not give you their dump.rdb, and you cannot restart them to load one. A logical backup taken over the normal connection is the only copy you actually own.
Moving from self-hosted to a managed service, from one cloud to another, or from Redis to Valkey? Back up, point the restore at the new server, and every key arrives with its TTL.
Upgrading Redis 7 to 8 or changing persistence settings can go wrong. A backup taken just before the change is the rollback plan to restore into the previous version and carry on.
An unauthenticated Redis reachable from the internet is wiped by automated attacks within hours. Encrypted backups kept off the server are the clean copy you restore from once the port is closed.
Everything you need to backup Redis databases automatically and restore them anywhere.
Strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams and modules’ types are serialized exactly as Redis stores them with DUMP, and each key’s remaining time-to-live is saved beside it. A restore brings back the data and its expiry behaviour.
The backup is logical and taken over the normal client connection. It works against Redis Cloud, Upstash, Amazon ElastiCache and any other service that never gives you disk access. No BGSAVE, no dump.rdb, no restart.
A Redis backup can be restored to a different server or database number. For eg. a backup created from database 0 on one Redis server can be restored to database 3 on another server. This can be useful when moving Redis data to a new server, creating a staging copy or recovering data after a server failure.
If your Redis server uses TLS, enable the TLS option when connecting to a rediss:// endpoint. You can also enter an ACL username when your Redis setup requires one. Login details are stored in Windows Credentials Manager instead of a plain-text configuration file.
Set when the backup should run and select hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly schedule. Once you set it, the tool take backup Redis database automatically. You can also set how many backup copies to keep and remove older files automatically.
Redis backup software compress backup files while they are being created. Gzip compression can reduce the size of the files which helps save storage space and can make uploads faster.
Enable AES-256-GCM encryption to protect Redis backup files before they are stored. The encryption password is required to open the protected backup. So, if someone get your backup file but he cannot open it without right encryption key.
Backup Redis database to PC, NAS, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Clouflare R2, MinIO, SFTP or FTP. It gives the flexibility to save backup files where you want. You can choose any location to store backup copies.
Try the Redis backup software free for 15 days. No credit or debit card is required. If you are satisfied with its working procedure then you can purchase its licensed version that includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.
The Redis backup software create backup in a few simple steps: choose Redis database, enter login details to connect to the Redis server, select a storage location, configure the backup schedule and save the job. After that, it creates automate Redis database backup according to the schedule you choose.
The software scans each selected database, serializes every key with its TTL, compresses and encrypts the file and stores it at the selected location on every scheduled run.
Use the backup solution with Redis wherever your database is hosted. It works with Redis on your own server, inside Docker or through a managed cloud service. You only need your host, port and password to establish the connection.
Redis running on your own server, VPS or a Windows PC. Connect with the requirepass password and backup any of the numbered databases.
Redis Cloud databases expose a rediss:// endpoint with a generated port. Paste the host and port from the console, use the default user’s password and switch TLS on.
Managed services never hand you dump.rdb — this logical backup is the copy you own.
Upstash serverless Redis is TLS-only. Enter the endpoint, port 6379, the default username and the password shown in the Upstash console.
ElastiCache for Redis with in-transit encryption connects over TLS from a machine inside the VPC or over a VPN. Use the primary endpoint and, if AUTH is enabled, its token.
Cluster-mode enabled? Back up each node individually.
Redis inside a Docker container is backed up over the network — use the compose service name or the port you mapped to the host. Nothing needs to be mounted into the container.
A Redis deployment in Kubernetes is reachable through its service name from inside the cluster network, or through a port-forward or ingress from your PC.
Valkey speaks the same protocol and supports the same DUMP and RESTORE commands, so backups and restores work unchanged — and a Redis backup can be restored into Valkey when you migrate.
Recovering a Redis database takes four steps in the app: choose the job, choose the point in time, choose what to do with it, review. The tool downloads the file, decrypts it, decompresses it and replays every record with RESTORE key TTL payload replace into the original database number or a different one, on the same server or a new one, managed or self-hosted. Press play to watch every step.
DUMP payloads carry the RDB version of the server that made them: restore into the same or a newer Redis version. Redis itself refuses to load a Redis 7 payload into Redis 6, and the tool tells you so in one clear message.
The Redis backup software is a desktop application that runs directly on your computer. It creates backups and saves them to the storage location you choose. Your backups stay under your control without extra storage charges from the software.
Pay for the software, not for the amount of data you backup. Backup Redis database to your PC or NAS without additional charges. You can also use your own cloud storage such as Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, OneDrive, SFTP or FTP and pay the provider directly. Whether you backup 10 GB or 10 TB, the tool cost remains the same.
The application connects directly to your Redis server and saves backups directly to your selected destination. Your data does not need to pass through our servers. You can also enable AES-256 encryption to protect backups before they are stored, so your storage provider cannot read the backup contents.
Redis credentials are stored securely in Windows Credentials Manager rather than in plain-text configuration files. The application only keeps a reference to the saved credential. If online monitoring is enabled, only basic backup information such as job name, status, size and duration is reported, not your Redis data or password.

Redis backup needs to account for more than just copying data. The backup process is designed around real Redis environment, including multiple numbered databases, expiring keys and Redis servers running in different setup.
Built around real Redis WorkloadsThe Redis backup utility uses Redis-native operations to capture keys, their values and expiration information while creating the backup. Compression and AES-256-GCM encryption are added to help reduce storage usage and protect the resulting backup file.
Redis-native encrypted compressedYour backup is not trapped in a proprietary cloud format. The process is based on Redis's documented data operations, making the backup workflow transparent and easier to understand, manage and restore when required.
Redis-based · transparent workflow · no proprietary storageYour Redis data stays on the path you choose. The software connects directly to your Redis server and saves the backup to your selected destination. It does not require uploading your database to a third-party backup server and your Redis credentials remain protected on your machine.
Direct connection · private backups· credentials protectedSessions, queues, feature flags and leaderboards get a nightly, encrypted copy that restores with TTLs intact, so a wiped keyspace is an incident, not a rebuild.
Whether Redis is self-hosted or managed, keep every instance’s backups organised, encrypted and visible from one dashboard, with alerts when a run fails.
Backups are encrypted with your key before they leave the PC, credentials stay in the Windows Credential Manager, and nothing is uploaded to a third-party service.
Restore a production keyspace into database 3 of a staging server to reproduce a bug with real data shapes without touching the live instance.
Replace ad-hoc BGSAVE copies with scheduled logical backups, checksum verification, retention tiers and alerts for Docker, Kubernetes, VM and managed instances alike.
Create one job per client instance with its own schedule and destination. Backups stay separated, encrypted and monitored in one place.
