Dedicated resources
On dedicated configurations, database compute and storage are separate from other customers.
Configure capacityDatabase storage
Store application data with dedicated capacity, regional snapshots and documented recovery options.
Daily storage snapshots provide the recovery baseline for dedicated configurations.
Optional archived changes extend a snapshot when available. Archive streaming remains a preview.
Choose a region and dedicated compute and storage for your workload. Review capacity, availability and recovery settings together.
Restore into a fresh instance using the selected snapshot and available archived changes. Check the recoverable point before choosing your target.
Archive streaming is an opt-in preview; plan current recovery around daily snapshots.
How recovery worksOn dedicated configurations, database compute and storage are separate from other customers.
Configure capacityDedicated storage snapshots are encrypted and archived in the instance's region.
Snapshot detailsReview write durability, archive status and operational limits before setting your recovery expectations.
Durability and recoveryA successful restore is more than a running instance. Check that the recovered records and your application's connections match the state you expect.
Read the recovery runbookInspect the snapshot and archive state. Select a recoverable point before the unwanted change.
Recovery uses the chosen snapshot and available archived changes. Keep the source available for comparison.
Check application-critical records, query results and permissions. Then update the application to use the recovered instance.
Archive streaming is still a preview. Current recovery planning should use daily snapshots, rather than a promised per-second recovery window.
Check archive limitationsFree offers a shared starting configuration. Dedicated opens resource and recovery choices; free configurations do not include point-in-time recovery.
Compare deployment choicesA standby and a backup serve different purposes. Standby replication is asynchronous; recent acknowledged writes may be lost if the writer fails.
