Since launching Forge's Database Backup feature back in February, our customers have created thousands of backup configurations, which have made hundreds of thousands of backups and counting. Today, we're pleased to announce a big improvement to database backups including streaming backups directly to your backup provider. By streaming your database backups to your backup provider, the backup files themselves never consume disk space on your server. Database streaming will only affect newly created backup configurations, and existing configurations will continue to work as they have in the past. If you would like to take advantage of this feature, you may delete and recreate your database backup configuration within the Forge dashboard.
