Products / Databricks backup and restore readiness

A Databricks platform you have restored once, on purpose.

Databricks makes you responsible for your recovery point objective and for the integrity between your primary and secondary deployments. We assess where you stand, design the recovery, write the restore runbook and run the first restore drill, so you know how long a restore takes.Scope: Scope agreed per platform

01 / Who it is for

Who it is for

  • ForPlatform and data teams that run Databricks in production and cannot yet say how they would restore it after a loss.
  • The problem it solvesTime travel and UNDROP help after a mistake, but they are recovery aids with limited windows, not backups, and a restore nobody has practised has an unknown duration.

02 / What you get

What you get

The deliverables of this product. Nothing else is in scope until we agree it.

  • Assessment of tables, configuration, objects and dependencies against your recovery targets
  • Disaster recovery design with deep clones synced for recovery
  • Platform configuration as code with Terraform and Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs)
  • Documented restore runbook per system
  • A first restore drill with measured recovery times

03 / How it runs

How it runs

Fixed steps in a fixed order. Scope: Scope agreed per platform.

  1. Assess

    We list what the platform holds, what depends on what and which recovery point and recovery time each part needs.

  2. Design

    We design the recovery: which tables get a synced deep clone, what rebuilds from code and where the secondary deployment sits.

  3. Build

    We set up the clones and the configuration as code, and we write the restore runbook.

  4. Drill

    We run a restore drill with your team, measure the recovery times and record what to improve.

  5. Schedule

    We agree the drill schedule so the restore stays practised.

04 / Your result

What you hold at the end

A recovery design, a restore runbook, configuration as code and the measured result of a first restore drill.

What we need from you

  • Read access to the workspaces and the infrastructure code
  • Your recovery targets, or a conversation to set them
  • A person who owns the platform
  • A window for the restore drill

Scope fixed before we start; quote after a first call.

06 / FAQ

Questions about this product

Is time travel enough?

Time travel keeps old versions for 7 days by default, and UNDROP has a 7 day window by default. Both help after a mistake. Neither is a copy in a second place, so they are no substitute for a backup.

What do you use for the copies?

Deep clones, which copy data and metadata and can be synced for disaster recovery, together with configuration as code for everything that can be rebuilt.

How often do you rehearse?

We agree a schedule with you. The first drill is part of this product, and later drills can run on a schedule.
