D1 has built-in support for creating and restoring backups of your databases, including support for scheduled automatic backups and manual backup management.

:::caution[Planned removal]

Access to snapshot based backups for D1 alpha databases described in this documentation will be removed on [2025-07-01](/d1/platform/release-notes/#2025-07-01).

The snapshot based backups described in this documentation are deprecated, and limited to the original alpha databases.

:::caution[Time Travel]

Databases using D1's [production storage subsystem](https://blog.cloudflare.com/d1-turning-it-up-to-11/) can use Time Travel. Time Travel replaces the [snapshot-based backups](/d1/reference/backups/) used for legacy alpha databases.
Databases using D1's [production storage subsystem](https://blog.cloudflare.com/d1-turning-it-up-to-11/) can use Time Travel point-in-time recovery. [Time Travel](/d1/reference/time-travel/) replaces the snapshot based backups used for legacy alpha databases.

To understand which storage subsystem your database uses, run `wrangler d1 info YOUR_DATABASE` and inspect the `version` field in the output. Databases with `version: production` support the new Time Travel API. Databases with `version: alpha` only support the older, snapshot-based backup API.

title: D1 alpha database backup access removed
description: |-
Following the removal of query access to D1 alpha databases on [2024-08-23](/d1/platform/release-notes/#2024-08-23), D1 alpha database backups can no longer be accessed or created with [`wrangler d1 backup`](/d1/reference/backups/).

If you want to retain a backup of your D1 alpha database, please use `wrangler d1 backup` before 2025-07-01. A D1 alpha backup can be used to [migrate](/d1/platform/alpha-migration/#5-create-a-new-d1-database) to a newly created D1 database in its generally available state.
