Backup & restore expectations

SLA uptime targets (full text) do not magically guarantee zero-byte loss on restores — plan your own checkpoints for compliance workloads.

Snapshots vs restores

Inclusive JetBackup tiers provide scheduled filesystem/database snapshots usable for rollback. Restoration time hinges on dataset size, IO contention, concurrent ticket load, and whether corruption predates retained generations.

Interpret RPO pragmatically

• RPO is bounded by the last snapshot your tier retains plus any activity between snapshots.
• Frequently mutating workloads (heavy DB writes) widen effective RPO versus static brochure sites.

Buyer testing duty

Procurement teams should require scheduled restore rehearsals for regulated apps — verifying checksums/application boot post-restore catches silent corruption early.
