Aptible Deploy has always allowed developers to trigger a backup, something we call a manual backup.

To allow you to quickly see who in your team triggered the database backup and help with any reviews, we've now added a created by field in the Backups tab of your databases in the Aptible dashboard.

You can also see the equivalent of this through the CLI using the aptible backup:list command. Please make sure you're on version 0.18.3 or higher of the CLI.
