Overview of the HashSphere network backup and restore processes
HashSphere is resilient by design and avoids single points of failure. HashSphere Managed Service also includes backup and restore to support business continuity.
Backup Scope
For managed service deployments, the following components are backed up on a scheduled basis:
Consensus node state
Mirror node data
Supporting configurations required for service restoration
Backup data is encrypted at rest in cloud storage in a customer-selected region. Restore uses the most recent snapshot to provision replacement components and rehydrate state.
Downtime Considerations
Network availability during a restore event depends on several factors, including
The number of nodes affected
Cloud provider availability during the restore event
Whether the restore is for a single node or a full-environment recovery
Transaction volume on the network
Planned maintenance windows and recovery objectives are defined in your service agreement.
Recovery Objectives
Recovery objectives such as RPO and RTO targets are defined according to the service contract and deployment architecture. Customers should refer to their service agreement for specific commitments.
