How continuity management works in AMS

Focus mode
How continuity management works in AMS - AMS Accelerate User Guide

AMS backup plans define how frequently your data is backed up and the retention policy for your backups. AMS backup vaults keep your backup data organized. Once a resource is associated with a backup plan, compatible resources are incrementally backed up. The first backup is a full copy and subsequent backups capture incremental changes. Depending on the resource and AMS backup plan selected, Point-in-time restore (PITR) allows you to rewind your resources by selecting a time for your recovery. To get started with AMS Backup Management, simply select an AMS backup plan and tag your resources.

Note
