# About organization backups
By default, Coveo backs up and replicates your [organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/185/) and your [customer data](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3135/).
This is done in case you accidentally [delete your organization](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1562#organization-details).

Coveo performs the following backups:

## Additional information

Organization backups can only be used to restore a deleted organization.
Restoring a specific configuration or data is not possible.

> **Tip**
>
> To save your own organization backups, use the [resource snapshot feature](https://docs.coveo.com/en/3239/).
> You'll then be able to import a previous version of your organization resources to revert unwanted changes.

You can't restore a deleted organization yourself.
Ask [Coveo Support](https://connect.coveo.com/s/case/Case/Default) to do it for you.

Backups are replicated in several data centers and at a remote location.
Backup schedules aren't configurable and occur during off-peak hours.

Daily [Coveo Analytics](https://docs.coveo.com/en/182/) data backups are retained at the following (possibly overlapping) checkpoints: last 7 days, last 5 Mondays, first day of the month for the last 12 months.

An organization backup will fail if there's an inconsistency between a source and its security providers.
