Backup & Restore4

Backups run on a schedule you set and are stored separately from the cluster. Restore and point-in-time recovery both create a new cluster rather than overwriting the original. Note that enabling the backup service does not by itself back anything up — data is protected only once a backup job exists and has run at least once.
