Database Instances have settings that allow you to tune the behavior of their database engine to better fit your needs. Available settings depend on the database engine and its version. Each Database Instance setting entry has a default value that the user can override. The deletion of a setting entry restores the setting to the entry's default value. Some default values can be different from the engine's default, as their configuration is optimized to work at full potential with the Scaleway ecosystem.

## Block Storage Legacy

Block Storage Legacy is a volume type that is decoupled from your compute resources. You can increase your storage space to up to 10 TB without changing your node type.

## Block Storage Low Latency
## Block Storage

Block Storage Low Latency is a storage type similar to [Block Storage Legacy](#block-storage-legacy) that provides lower latency and high resiliency through 5k IOPS. You can increase your volume size to up to 10 TB.

- Disk size cannot be reduced, so when switching from Local to Block, the volume size remains the same by default.
- When switching from a block to a local volume, make sure to select a node with a Local Storage with size equal or greater than your current Block Storage.

Two types of autobackups are available at Scaleway: [backups](/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/concepts/#database-backup) and [snapshots](/managed-databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/concepts/#database-snapshot).

The autobackup feature is enabled by default upon the creation of an Instance. Simultaneously, a schedule policy is created. The default autobackup frequency is of 1 per day with a retention period of 7 days. You can change this in the Database Instance information page after Instance creation.
<br />
By default, the Database Instance creation date is used as the base timestamp for the automated backups. When you change the schedule configuration, the moment you validated the new configuration becomes the new base timestamp. For example, if at 8 a.m. on a Thursday you update the autobackup frequency to 24h, your next autobackup will be created at 8 a.m. on a Friday.

When autobackup is enabled for your Local or Block volumes, regular quota limitations for backups and snapshots do not apply. Refer to the [Managed Databases FAQ page](/faq/databases-for-postgresql-and-mysql/#why-is-my-number-of-active-backupssnapshots-exceeding-the-quota) for more information.
