 For same-region restore, when all nodes are up and running, you can restore cluster without any data loss. In an extremely rare case of a node experiencing a catastrophic event (and [high availability](./concepts-high-availability.md) isn't enabled on the cluster), you might lose up to 5 minutes of data.
