Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Hyperscale (Citus) automatically creates

backups of each node and stores them in locally redundant storage. Backups can

be used to restore your Hyperscale (Citus) cluster to a specified time. Backup
1717
and restore are an essential part of any business continuity strategy because
1818
they protect your data from accidental corruption or deletion.

## Backups

22-
Azure Database for PostgreSQL takes snapshot backups of the data files and the
23-
transaction log. Snapshot backups are taken at least once a day. These backups
24-
allow you to restore a server to any point-in-time within backup retention
25-
period. Currently all clusters have backup retention period is 35 days. All
26-
backups are encrypted using AES 256-bit encryption.

In Azure regoins that support availability zones backup snapshots are stored in
29-
3 availability zones. It means that you would be able to restore your
30-
Hyperscale (Citus) cluster from backup as long as at least one availability
31-
zone is online.

### Point-in-time restore (PITR)
5554

56-
You can perform a restore to any point in time within 35 days. A new cluster is
57-
created in the same Azure region, subscription, and resource group as the
58-
original one. It is created with the original cluster's configuration for the
59-
number of node, number of vCores, storage size, user roles, and server
60-
parameters.

Point-in-time restore is useful in multiple scenarios. For example, when a user
6362
accidentally deletes data, drops an important table or database, or if an
64-
application accidentally overwrites good data with bad data due to an
65-
application defect.
