Configure Serverless Instance Backup
Atlas offers the following backup options for serverless instances:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Serverless Continuous Backup | Atlas takes incremental snapshots of the data in your
serverless instance every six hours and lets you restore the
data from a selected point in time within the last 72 hours.
Atlas also takes daily snapshots and retains these daily
snapshots for 35 days. To learn more, see
Serverless Instance Costs. |
Basic Backup | Atlas takes incremental snapshots of the data in your
serverless instance every six hours and retains only the two
most recent snapshots. You can use this option for free. |
