The list covers 31 engines, plus any you add yourself; see Supported databases.
Say where it runs
On the host, In a Docker container, In a Podman container, or Remote or managed, through the server. For a container give its name - it survives a re-create - or its compose project and service.
Say how to sign in
Password, peer or socket, certificate, connection string, or none - as the engine allows. A password is stored encrypted and handed to the tool on its standard input, never on a command line.
Choose where the dump tool runs
automatic - the platform decides (recommended).
in the container - the database’s own container runs the tool.
on the host - the tool installed on the server.
ephemeral container - a throw-away container with the tool, e.g. when the database container has none.
platform tunnel - the platform runs the tool itself through an SSH tunnel.
Save - the platform tests it
