# Data Backups

FundApps backups production data to local storage at the following frequency:

* FundApps continuously backups production data to a hot standby instance in the same region but a different availability zone (generally <100ms RPO, <5 minutes RTO).
* Backups are continuously replicated to a cold standby instance in a secondary region (generally <500ms RPO, <1 hour RTO).

Seven days of full snapshot history are stored in RDS snapshots in the primary and secondary regions. Each backup contains the entire history of the client instance. Backup integrity is checked automatically at the end of each backup.\
Backups are fully encrypted.

**Restore Testing**

Backup restoration is tested annually as part of FundApps' disaster recovery testing process. Tests verify that data can be restored within the agreed RPO (30 minutes) and RTO (4 hours). The restore testing process, responsibilities, and results are documented in the [Disaster Recovery Test Report](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-LfJHWfs_trECzRPCw0U/s/XF0g1TVzQoo8RywqRV1M/~/edit/~/changes/5/fundapps-policies/business-continuity/bc) and described further in the [Technical Resilience Policy](https://policies.fundapps.co/fundapps-policy-portal/-LrODnq5Hl65-TLW7fbC/fundapps-policies/business-continuity/technical-resilience).
