Backups
EasyInstance backs up every instance for you. Backups are encrypted, you choose how often they run, and you can restore one into a new instance for testing or over production.
What you get
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Hourly, daily or weekly. New instances start with automated daily backups switched on |
| Retention | Keep snapshots for up to 90 days, depending on your plan |
| Point-in-time restore | Rewind to within 5 minutes of any moment in the last 7 days |
| Encryption | Backups are encrypted at rest with AES-256 |

Restore a backup
Restore the full database into a new instance to test it safely, or over production to roll back. Restoring into a new instance leaves your live instance untouched.
