Back up a whole database and restore it later, per connection. FlexTable drives the real engine tools under the hood, so a backup is a standard dump you can trust and reuse.
Backup and restore is a PRO feature.

Tools, handled for you

Backups use each engine’s native client tools (pg_dump / pg_restore, mysqldump, mongodump / mongorestore, and the SQLite and Redis equivalents). FlexTable downloads and verifies the version-matched tools automatically and shows their status, so a backup taken here is compatible and you never hunt for a matching CLI.
Version-matched. FlexTable checks the tool version against your server and flags a mismatch before it can produce a bad dump.
