Time Travel and Fail-safe

Agenda
• Time Travel
• Retention Period
• Querying historical data
• Restoring Objects
• Fail Safe
• Continuous Data Protection Life Cycle
Time Travel
• Snowflake Time Travel enables accessing historical data (i.e. data that has been
changed or deleted) at any point within a defined period.
• Restoring data-related objects (tables, schemas, and databases) that might have
been accidentally or intentionally deleted.
• Query data in the past that has since been updated or deleted.
• Duplicating and backing up data from key points in the past.
• Analyzing data usage/manipulation over specified periods of time.
• No need to enable Time Travel, it is automatically enabled.
Retention Period
• Retention is the key component of Time Travel.
• It specifies the number of days for which this historical data is preserved.
• For Standard Edition, the retention period is 1 day, can set it to 0.
• For Enterprise and higher editions it is 90 days, can set it any thing between 0-90
days.
• Default is 1, we can set this period at the time of creation of object or can alter later.
• A retention period of 0 days for any object means disabling Time Travel for the
object.
• We can change the retention period by using ALTER command.
• Higher retention period, the higher storage cost.
Querying Historical Data
3 Ways to query historical data
1. At specified timestamp
2. At some time ago
3. Before executing any statement/query
Querying Historical Data
1. Below query selects historical data from a table at the specified timestamp:
select * from my_table at(timestamp => 'Fri, 01 May 2015 16:20:00 -0700'::timestamp_tz);

2. Below query selects historical data from a table as of 5 minutes ago:


select * from my_table at(offset => -60*5);

3. Below query selects historical data that present in the table before executing the
query specified by query id
select * from my_table before(statement => '8e5d0ca9-005e-44e6-b858-a8f5b37c5726');
Restoring Objects
• When a table, schema, or database is dropped, it is not immediately removed
from the system.
• Instead, it is retained for the data retention period for the object, during which
time the object can be restored.
• After retention period is completed, we can’t restore the objects.

UNDROP TABLE ‘TABLE_NAME’


UNDROP SCHEMA ‘SCHEMA_NAME’
UNDROP DATABASE ‘DATABASE_NAME’
Fail-safe
• Fail-safe provides a 7-day period during which historical data may be recoverable
by Snowflake.
• This period starts immediately after the Time Travel retention period ends.
• We can't query or restore the Fail-safe data.
• We need to contact Snowflake Support to restore the data during Fail-safe period.
• Data recovery through Fail-safe may take several hours to several days to
complete.
• After Fail-safe period is over, there is no other way to recover the data.
