Hi,

In odoo we can have multiple databases, so when ever you need to take backup, you can go to the web/database/manager and perform the back operation. Then Later if you feel that you need to get that database, you can go to the /web/database/manager and restore it with a new name.


So now you will have two databases in the system. And if you want to delete any of this, you can do from the same page.


Thanks

Hello , 

When you restore, it will not override your old database and you need not delete the old one too, you should give a different name to your new database and restore. 

The old one remains the same.

So finally you can have as many databases in odoo and you can switch between those in /web/database/manager .


Thanks
