Three Ways to Use Your Snapshots
Blog post from Neon
Neon has introduced a snapshots feature, available in beta, allowing users to create, schedule, and restore database snapshots effortlessly, enhancing data recovery and management. Built on Neon's copy-on-write architecture, snapshots capture the precise state of a database at a specific moment without creating a full physical copy, enabling near-instantaneous restoration, even for large datasets. Unlike traditional backup methods, which are more cumbersome, these snapshots serve as read-only recovery points that can be restored into new branches, offering a practical means for data preservation, historical analysis, and debugging. The feature is particularly useful for safeguarding data before critical operations, such as production migrations or major updates, by allowing users to quickly revert to a previous state if needed. Additionally, snapshots can be scheduled for archival purposes, extending history retention beyond Neon’s point-in-time restore (PITR) window, and they are accessible to users on a Neon paid plan.
