Couchbase is pleased to announce Cluster backups for Capella Operational cluster, to allow easy backup and restore of the entire cluster within minutes, at the click of a button. This is yet another feather in Couchbase\u2019s cap which makes it the most cost-effective and performant database for powering business-critical applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With cluster backups, Capella ensures faster end-to-end recoverability of your database within minutes, including restore of indexes, hence reducing business downtime. It uses native snapshot capabilities of your cloud service provider to store backups in the same cloud region as your managed database thus granting you better governance over where the data lives and also reducing the impact of backup on database performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, this now enables more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">frequent<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> backups thus reducing Recovery Point Objective (RPO), the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. This capability is now generally available on Capella deployments across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure. Moreover, it comes with a bunch of enterprise grade features to help enterprises with robust data resiliency. Let\u2019s dive deeper to understand how to get faster RTO, without affecting database performance and get a predictable gauge of backup and recovery times irrespective of data size.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s new and how does it benefit your business?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capella now offers immediate access to cloud provider snapshot technology for scheduled and on-demand disk data backups.

However, the new cloud provider snapshots better address common operational use cases, such as in-place or out-of-place recovery, to source or other compatible target clusters as well as cross-regional backup replication.
