NovaGPU Data Retention FAQ

🕒 How long is data retained in a NovaGPU instance if unused?

In our NovaGPU offering—GPU-as-a-Service—automated backups are managed using a tiered retention schedule:

• Hourly backups: retained for the last 15 hours
• Daily backups: retained for the last 7 days
• Weekly backups: retained for the last 4 weeks

✅ Why this matters

• Recoverability: Even if your NovaGPU is unused, data from recent activities is still protected through these backup tiers.
• Storage Costs: Unused instances still incur backup storage until snapshots expire per policy.
• Data Clean‑Up: Once backups exceed retention timeframes, they’re automatically purged, freeing up space and ensuring efficient storage usage.

🔄 Need more control?

1. Adjust backup schedules and retention policies via the NovaCloud portal or support interaction to suit your specific use case.
2. Take manual snapshots before doing long stretches of development work—ensuring you retain state beyond scheduled backups.
