Backup & recovery

#Overview

In the case of unintentional deletions, Backup & Recovery allows project admins to roll back their main environment to a previous working version within seconds.

#What you can do

• Automatic daily backup of a project's master environment, with a 7 day retention.
• Easy recovery for project admins in case of accidental deletions.
• Recovery within seconds to a previous backup as a new environment that you can promote.
• Backups contain content, assets & schema.

#Backup creation

When the feature is enabled, backups are created automatically every day, during non-working hours, and kept for up to 7 days.

Project admins can see the next scheduled backup date & time, and the general retention. We also show the list of all available backups:

A modal with two selection options will display:

Recover backup only

The Recover backup only option creates a new environment from the backups.

#Recover backup & promote to master

The Recover backup & promote to master option turns the backup into a normal environment and promotes that to master.

The backup replaces the old master environment.

Recover backup & promote to master

If you select this option, you must also choose a name for the demoted master environment, like in our normal promotion flow.

This process will only take a few seconds.
