-One implementation is provided out of the box:

+# Database Backup Contract {#contract-databasebackup}
+
+This NixOS contract represents a backup job
+that will backup everything in one database
+on a regular schedule.
+
+It is a contract between a service that has database dumps to be backed up
+and a service that backs up databases dumps.
+
+## Contract Reference {#contract-databasebackup-options}
+
+These are all the options that are expected to exist for this contract to be respected.
+
+```{=include=} options
+id-prefix: contracts-databasebackup-options-
+list-id: selfhostblocks-options
+source: @OPTIONS_JSON@
+```
+
+## Usage {#contract-databasebackup-usage}
+
+A database that can be backed up will provide a `databasebackup` option.
+Such a service is a `requester` providing a `request` for a module `provider` of this contract. 
+
+What this option defines is, from the user perspective - that is _you_ - an implementation detail
+but it will at least define how to create a database dump,
+the user to backup with
+and how to restore from a database dump.
+
+Here is an example module defining such a `databasebackup` option:
+
+```nix
+{
+  options = {
+    myservice.databasebackup = mkOption {
+      type = contracts.databasebackup.request;
+      default = {
+        user = "myservice";
+        backupCmd = ''
+          ${pkgs.postgresql}/bin/pg_dumpall | ${pkgs.gzip}/bin/gzip --rsyncable
+        '';
+        restoreCmd = ''
+          ${pkgs.gzip}/bin/gunzip | ${pkgs.postgresql}/bin/psql postgres
+        '';
+      };
+    };
+  };
+};

+and that one can create multiple backup instances under `databasebackupservice.instances`.
+Then, to actually backup the `myservice` service, one would write:
+
+```nix

+  request = myservice.databasebackup;
+  
+  settings = {
+    enable = true;

+      path = "/srv/backup/myservice";
+    };
+
+    # ... Other options specific to backupservice like scheduling.
+  };
+};
+```
