| Backup Class | Description |

| 2 | Snapshot backups once a day. Backups are performed and stored on the same HW as primary data. This class provides protection against unintentional data removal. It does not protect against hardware failure of the storage. |
| 3 | Snapshot backups plus a backup copy. The copy resides on a different hardware. This class provides protection against unintentional data removal as well as hardware failures. |
Backup policy for storages
All storages are backed up once a day (normally between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m.), by snapshot backup. There backups are kept for 2 weeks. For a more complete understanding of how the data are backed up in MetaCentrum service, see the corresponding chapter.

Tip
User data are moved from time to time when hardware is replaced. See table of decommissioned storages to track back where your old data have been moved to.
