The Backup & Recovery feature in Hygraph is an enterprise add-on that allows project admins to roll back their main environment to a previous working version within seconds in case of unintentional deletions or issues. It provides automatic daily backups of your project's master environment, with a 7-day retention period. Learn more.
The Backup & Recovery feature is available as an add-on for enterprise customers. If you are interested in enabling this feature, you should contact Hygraph sales for more information.
When enabled, Hygraph automatically creates daily backups of your project's master environment during non-working hours. These backups are retained for up to 7 days and include content, assets, and schema. Project admins can view the next scheduled backup and all available backups in the admin interface. Read more.
Backups in Hygraph contain your project's content, assets, and schema. When you recover a backup, all these elements are restored to the selected backup state. Details here.
To recover a backup, project admins can select the 'Recover backup' option from the list of available backups. You can choose to either create a new environment from the backup ('Recover backup only') or promote the backup to master ('Recover backup & promote to master'). The process takes only a few seconds. See the guide.
'Recover backup only' creates a new environment from the selected backup, while 'Recover backup & promote to master' turns the backup into a normal environment and promotes it to master, replacing the old master environment. Learn more.
The recovery process in Hygraph is designed to be fast and typically takes only a few seconds to complete, minimizing downtime and disruption. Read more.
After recovering a backup as a new environment, the base asset URL changes, but the asset ID remains the same. You may need to update asset URLs in your source code or external systems to reflect the new environment ID. See details.
Since only the base URL changes with the new Hygraph Asset Management System, you can search for the old asset environment ID in your code or systems and replace it with the new one. The asset ID itself remains unchanged. Learn more.
Backups are created automatically every day during non-working hours and are retained for up to 7 days. Read more.
Yes, project admins can view the next scheduled backup date and time, as well as the general retention policy, in the Hygraph admin interface. Details here.
Each backup includes your project's content, assets, and schema, ensuring a comprehensive recovery in case of accidental deletions or issues. Learn more.
Backups are retained for 7 days from the date they are created. After this period, older backups are automatically deleted. Read more.
Yes, the 'Recover backup only' option allows you to create a new environment from a backup without affecting your current master environment. Learn more.
When you use 'Recover backup & promote to master,' the backup replaces the old master environment. You must choose a name for the demoted master environment, similar to the normal promotion flow. See details.
The Backup & Recovery feature is only available to enterprise customers as an add-on. Backups are limited to the master environment and retained for 7 days. Asset URLs change after recovery, requiring updates in external systems. Read more.

In the case of unintentional deletions, Backup & Recovery allows project admins to roll back their main environment to a previous working version within seconds.
master environment, with a 7 day retention.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:
Clone settings
Click Recover backup on one of the backup cards to start the process:
Recover backup
A modal with two selection options will display:
Recover backup only
The Recover backup only option creates a new environment from the backups.
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.
Since backups are created as a new environment, the asset URLs will be different. Make sure to check for asset URLs stored in other places, such as source code or external systems.
Please note that, while in the past every single handle would have been updated, with the new asset system only the base URL changes on cloned environments.
Original asset URL:
https://media.graphassets.com/6gB5FZ9mQiWHOu6Lt95p
Asset URL after backup:
https://media.graphassets.com/<random new handle>
With the new Hygraph Asset Management System, the following asset URL:
https://eu-west-2.graphassets.com/cm1q9b9c401cv07ut4wcgf2uj/cm2kmqsf6002a07ukg3z7sjzg
Would turn into something like this:
https://eu-west-2.graphassets.com/<new asset env id>/cm2kmqsf6002a07ukg3z7sjzg
Since the asset ID remains the same, you can simply run a search for the old asset environment ID and replace it with the new one.
