Here's the warning message "This database is a temporary Odoo.sh staging environment. It will be automatically deleted on 31 May 2026. Staging databases are not backed up, do not store important data here"
how to store database on staging that gonna be expired? I have access to odoo.sh but still not sure how to restore the database. I've already backup the staging database
It is not possible to prevent the automatic deletion of a temporary staging database. If you need ongoing access to the data, the recommended approach is to keep regular backups and restore them to a permanent staging or development environment when required.
Hope it helps
Hello,
The warning message is normal in Odoo.sh because staging databases are temporary environments and are automatically deleted after the expiration date.
Since you already created a backup, you can safely restore it by:
You can also restore it into another staging branch or a local Odoo instance if needed.
Just make sure to restore the backup before the staging database expiration date.
Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion.

i already tried with 'restore option' but the database still show warning expired. Maybe i should create new instance from main to staging again, does it will create empty database or already filled with data same as main?
after click 'import database' button and then upload the file zip backup file, does the warning message gonna disappear?

Hello,
Yes, in Odoo.sh you do not use the /web/database/manager route directly because database management is handled from the Odoo.sh platform itself.
You can restore the backup from Odoo.sh by:
Opening your Odoo.sh project
Going to the desired branch (staging or development)
Clicking on the environment
Navigating to the Backups section
Using the Restore option and uploading your backup file
This will recreate the database inside the selected Odoo.sh environment.
Hope this works for you! If you need any help implementing this or want a more optimized approach, feel free to reach out for further discussion.

No. The warning is about the environment (staging = always temporary), not the data. Importing a backup only swaps the data it won't remove the banner. The warning only goes away if you restore to production, not staging.
i dont have access to /web/database/manager route so I have to restore it on odoo.sh
