Backup and restore
The following standard backup policy is applied to your projects and defines how many backups you can take advantage of.
Production environments:
- 1 automated backup per day, with a 2-day retention (2 days worth of backups are retained at any given point). Automated backups are always live.
- 2 manual backups maximum at any given point (the third manual backup replaces the oldest manual backup).
Preview environments (development and staging):
- No automated backups.
- 2 manual backups maximum at any given point (the third manual backup replaces the oldest manual backup).
Note that the number of backups is limited per environment type and not per project. Therefore, a Upsun project can have up to 6 backups at once (2 automated backups and 2 manual backups of the production environment, plus 2 manual backups of any preview environments).
Note
This policy applies during the beta phase of Upsun, during which backups are provided free of charge. In the future, you’ll be able to customize your backup policy depending on your needs and budget.
