In addition to primary storage, the cluster has an additional 2.3 PB of capacity dedicated to storing backups.
Important
Storage is expensive, and syncing backups is time consuming, so please read the :doc:`data-storage` and ensure your data is kept in the appropriate locations.
New or changed data is synced nightly to our backup servers - delorean and docbrown - and then snapshots are taken and kept for as long as the policy for that data dictates.
| Location | Policy |
