# Backups

> Meilisearch Cloud automatically backs up your project data on a weekly schedule, with customizable options for Enterprise customers.

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](mailto: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](mailto:sales@meilisearch.com) to configure a custom backup policy for your project.
