Backups & Restore¶
Servala automatically backs up your service instances where the service supports it, and lets you recover data from those backups. This page describes how backups and restores work in general. Backup schedules, retention, and recovery capabilities can differ per service. See the relevant page in the Service Catalog for service-specific details.
How backups work¶
- Automated schedule: backups are taken automatically on a regular schedule, without any action required from you.
- Retention: backups are kept for a defined retention period that depends on the service and offering.
- Point-in-time recovery: some services (for example databases) support point-in-time recovery in addition to scheduled backups.
Restoring from a backup¶
Restore procedures depend on the service. Self-service restore through the portal is not available yet: its implementation is in progress. Until then, restoring an instance from a backup is handled by Servala support.
Contact support if you need to restore an instance from a backup.
