The Connections page in the dashboard shows every database connection registered across your servers.

​
What you see

For each connection:
  • Name — the label you gave the connection when adding it in the CLI
  • Type — Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB
  • Server — which server this connection belongs to
  • Status — whether the last backup succeeded or failed
  • Last backup — timestamp of the most recent backup

​
Adding connections

Connections are added from the CLI on your server:
Navigate to Add connection in the TUI and follow the prompts. The new connection appears in the dashboard within seconds after being synced. You cannot add connections directly from the dashboard — credentials never leave your server.

​
Removing connections

Remove a connection from the CLI:
Navigate to the connection → Delete connection. This removes the connection from the local config and notifies the dashboard. Any backups already uploaded for that connection remain in storage until they expire per your retention setting.

​
Connection names

Choose names that are meaningful to you — prod-postgres, staging-mysql, analytics-mongo. These are the only identifiers the dashboard ever sees for your databases. The dashboard never sees your host, port, database name, username, or password.
