Backup and recovery
What happens to your data if something goes wrong, stated plainly, including the details we have not confirmed yet.
In short
Backup frequency, retention and recovery procedures for the hosted service have not been confirmed for publication. Rather than guess, this page marks each of them “To be confirmed” and lists what you can already do to keep your own copies.
Protection against partial or lost work
One transaction per posting
An invoice, its stock movement and its journal are saved together or not at all, so a failure does not leave half a document.
Cancel instead of delete
Cancelling keeps the original document and reverses its effect, so a mistaken cancellation can be investigated.
Relational database
Business data is stored in a PostgreSQL database with constraints that reject records that would break links between documents.
Backup approach
These details depend on the hosting set-up and are being documented. We will publish them here once confirmed.
