# Disaster Recovery

## Overview

SingleStore’s unique storage architecture replicates all workspace data to durable object storage using [Unlimited Storage](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/manage-data/database-storage/#section-idm457438403007043256122251662.md) for resilience and recoverability.

SingleStore manages automatic full backups of your data. 

While automated backups can be used to recover from unexpected issues, SingleStore also enables you to [perform your own backups](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/manage-data/back-up-and-restore-data.md) as needed. Automated daily backups can be restored upon request, while performing your own backups allows you to self-serve restore operations.

To restore a database backup, [create a support request](https://support.singlestore.com). While requests to restore a database do not have a fixed response time, these requests will be serviced as soon as possible.

SingleStore provides a Enterprise offering which adds an additional recovery capability via [Point-in-Time Recovery](https://docs.singlestore.com/cloud/manage-data/database-storage/#section-idm4536710728857632830097298261.md). This feature allows a database to be restored to a previous point in time within the retention period. The backups retention period is 7 days.

## Data Retention Period

Database backups are taken daily and retained for 7 days.

## Testing

Disaster recovery and business continuity scenarios and approaches are tested annually with external third-parties to ensure adequacy and efficacy.
