Backups

Preventing downtime and maintaining data availability is crucial for digital security. Appwrite provides both self-managed backups and automated disaster recovery backups.

Self-managed backups are available for Pro plans and above. These backups allow you to:

  • Configure automatic backup policies

  • Initiate manual backups through the Console

  • Recover from accidental data deletion

  • Restore data to a previous point in time

For detailed information about self-managed backup features, configuration options, and restoration procedures, visit our Backup Documentation.

For platform-wide disaster recovery, Appwrite maintains automated internal backups of the underlying infrastructure. Some databases support point-in-time recovery for the past 7 days, while others are automatically backed up every 4 hours and retained for 7 days.
