​ Default backup schedule

Meilisearch Cloud automatically backs up your project data. Backups protect against accidental data loss and allow you to restore a project to a previous state.

​ Default backup schedule

Setting Default
Frequency Once per week
Backups retained 2 (the two most recent)
Scheduled day Based on the day the project was created

The backup window is automatically set when you create a project. Older backups are discarded as new ones are created, so only the two most recent backups are kept at any time.

​ Restoring from a backup

To restore your project from a backup, contact support@meilisearch.com with your project name and the target restore date in YYYY-MM-DD format (UTC).

​ Enterprise backup customization

Enterprise customers can fully customize their backup configuration:

  • Frequency: daily, multiple times per day, or any custom schedule
  • Retention: keep more than 2 backups
  • Timing: choose the exact time backups run to avoid peak traffic periods

Contact sales@meilisearch.com to configure a custom backup policy for your project.
