Multiple recovery point options

The service provides comprehensive data protection with options tailored to different recovery time requirements:

  • Snapshots: Uses volume snapshots to create high-performance recovery points for near-instantaneous state restoration.
  • Backups: Stores data in dedicated, isolated storage to provide maximum protection against hardware failures with longer recovery times.

Dynamic label-based targeting

Instead of manually targeting individual resources, the automation dynamically discovers and applies policies to all volumes matching your specified labels. New resources that match your labels are covered automatically.

Flexible execution triggers

Automation tasks can be scheduled to run automatically at custom intervals or executed on demand instantly through manual triggers.

Integrated retention policies

Built-in safety guardrails automatically manage your snapshot rotations and backup lifecycles:

  • Snapshot retention policy: Automatically prunes the oldest snapshots to maintain your defined volume limits and prevent creation failures.
  • Daily backup retention policy: Automatically creates a daily backup of the latest available snapshot when triggered, and deletes backups automatically once the specified retention period ends.
