Users can restore a branch to a specific timestamp or log sequence number (LSN) within a configurable history window of up to 30 days. A Time Travel Assist feature lets developers query the database as it existed at any past point before committing to a restore, helping pinpoint the exact moment of data loss. The restore operation completes in seconds, minimizing both RPO and RTO without requiring complex backup infrastructure like pg_basebackup, WAL archival, or third-party tools such as pgBackRest or Barman. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
