# aptible backup:list

This command lists all [Database Backups](/core-concepts/managed-databases/managing-databases/database-backups) for a given [Database](/core-concepts/managed-databases/overview).

<Note>
  The option, `max-age`, defaults to effectively unlimited (99y years) lookback. For performance reasons, you may want to specify an appropriately narrow period for your use case, like `3d` or `2w`.
</Note>
