Hello,

I believe that this is not possible as of the time being. You could set up read-replicas with a click of a button, but those would still be hosted by DigitalOcean.

It looks like someone has had the same idea before and has posted it on our Product Ideas board. The best thing to do would be to head over and add your vote to it, as well as adding any additional information in the comments for exactly what you’d like to see implemented!

Alternatively, as you mentioned, you can take a backup of your database as described here:

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
