Hey, how does the backups work for metaplay-hosted systems? What is the frequency and how to restore a backup if needed?

Hi, For production databases, we have a default backup regime of taking backups once per day. Retention is 7 daily backups, 4 weekly backups, and 12 monthly backups. There's also AWS Aurora Backtrack, which allows for point-in-time recovery within the backtrack window, which is typically 1 hour. Our docs on connecting to the database are being updated. Do note that doing database operations on your production is a potentially dangerous maneuver and could result in a loss of data. So test anything you intend to do on other environments first. You can do some database operations already with our CLI using the preview command

metaplay debug database

, but full restores are not supported. This describes another way to connect to the database, but again a full restore is more complicated: https://docs.metaplay.io/cloud-deployments/advanced-topics/connecting-to-databases.html We are working towards making it easier to do such operations directly yourself. For now, if your production environment requires a backup restore, be in contact with us through the Metaplay dev portal's support tickets: https://portal.metaplay.dev/support?tab=1
