Hello Amin,

Thank you for your feedback! It is currently not possible to restore or create database from external backups but this functionality is high on our 2024 roadmap, we plan to introduce support for selected formats/sources. Right now the best solution would be to create empty database, use your regular backup/restore tool with this database to import data and then you can use Everest backups and replicate it. I will let you know once new import feature lands on our sprint planning and I will also have more details on the scope by then. In the meantime would you be open to share how are you utilizing Everest and what is your experience so far? Maybe on quick zoom call?

Kind regards,
Peter
