# Backup, restore, and PITR | ||
|
||
Timescale automatically handles backup and restore for all | ||
services using the `pgBackRest` tool. You don't need to perform | ||
backups for your Timescale service manually. | ||
|
||
Timescale also offers self-initiated point-in-time recovery (PITR) in the console. | ||
This allows you to fork a service to any point in the last 3 days in a | ||
fork of the service being restored. | ||

# Point-in-time recovery | ||
|
||
Point-in-time recovery allows you to recover your database from a destructive | ||
or unwanted action or change. Timescale allows you to perform a point-in-time | ||
recovery of your service to any point in the last 3 days. Initiating a | ||
point-in-time recovery of your service creates a fork of your service that | ||
matches the state of your database at the specified time of recovery. The | ||
original service stays untouched to avoid losing data created since the | ||
time of recovery. | ||
|
||
Since the point-in-time recovery is done in a fork, to migrate your | ||
application to the point of recovery, switch out the connection | ||
strings in your application to use the fork. The provision time for the | ||
recovery fork is typically less than twenty minutes, but can take longer | ||
depending on the amount of WAL to be replayed. | ||
|
||
To avoid paying for compute for the recovery fork and the original service, you | ||
can pause the original to only pay storage costs. | ||
|
||
<Procedure> | ||
|
||
### Initiating a point-in-time recovery (PITR) | ||
|
||
1. In the Timescale console, from the `Services` list, ensure the service | ||
you want to PITR has a status of `Running` or `Paused`. | ||
1. Navigate to the `Operations` tab. | ||
1. In the `Service management` section, click `Create recovery fork`. In the | ||
creation page, select the time you would like to recover to, ensuring the | ||
correct time zone (UTC offset). | ||
1. [](#)<Optional />You can also add an HA replica, change the compute, and | ||
add a connection pooler as part of this process. It is recommended to match | ||
the same configuration you had at the point you want to recover to. | ||
1. Confirm by clicking `Create recovery fork`. A fork of the service is | ||
created to the point-in-time specified. | ||
1. The recovered service shows in the `Services` dashboard with a label stating | ||
which service it has been forked from. | ||
1. If you would like to use your application to use the recovered fork, ensure | ||
you update your connection strings to the fork throughout your app. | ||
