Data backup and recovery

You don’t need to worry about losing your data due to an unexpected event, because we back it up regularly. In this article, you’ll learn about the backup and recovery of your data.

How is your data backed up

We back up your data for you every day using Google Firebase and Cloud Scheduler. Your data is then saved to the Storage of your Google Cloud Platform. These features are charged extra by Google and priced individually, but on average cost a few cents a month. You can learn more about the prices in our article How much is GCP for Passwd.
