Point-in-time recovery
Current status of point-in-time recovery in Parix.
Point-in-time recovery is not available in the current product.
Current state
The product has backup restore for eligible completed backups, but it does not expose arbitrary point-in-time restore.
The backups page should be read as two separate surfaces:
- backup restore, which can replace the current database from a completed eligible backup
- point-in-time recovery, which is not available yet
What this means for operators
Today you should treat PITR as unavailable:
- do not design operational procedures around point-in-time restore
- do not assume retained backup artifacts can restore to arbitrary timestamps
- use eligible backup restore when you need to recover to a specific completed backup
Product contract
The current product contract explicitly says:
- backup artifacts can be retained after database deletion
- restore eligibility is tied to completed backup metadata and current cluster shape
- PITR remains out of scope in the current shipped product
When PITR becomes a real product surface, this page should be updated with the concrete workflow, prerequisites, and recovery guarantees.
