How do Passwd backups work?

note

Tier: Enterprise

Passwd Enterprise instances include automatic backups to protect your data and enable recovery in case of accidental deletion or data corruption.

Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)​

Newer Passwd instances use Firebase Firestore Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) for backups.
PITR allows you to restore your Firestore database to a specific point in time within the supported retention window.

For details about how PITR works internally, see the official Firebase documentation.

How to restore a backup​

To restore a backup:

  1. Open Firestore in your Google Cloud project.

  2. Select your database and click View backups.

  3. Choose the desired recovery point and click Restore.

The restore operation is handled directly by Google Cloud and follows Firestore’s standard restore behavior.

Backups via Google Cloud Storage bucket​

note

Deprecated

Older Passwd instances store backups in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.

This backup method is no longer used for new deployments and is kept only for legacy instances.
