Backups

This pageapplies toApigee andApigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

Apigee is redundant and provides live services within each region asa first layer of redundancy.

Data is backed up once per day at a minimum. Some services and data repositories are backed upmultiple times per day.

All data backed up by Google is encrypted using Google-owned and Google-managed encryption keys.

The following table describes the backup for each type of data.

DataBackup Notes
Control plane data
  • Backed up and replicated across multiple regions, which may include the US.
  • The following data is stored inGoogle Cloud Storage but there is no separate backup outside of what Storage provides:
    • API proxies
    • Shared flows
    • Keystores
    • Resource files

    Google recommends that you maintain regular backups for control plane data. Backups for API proxies and shared flows can be created bydownloading them, keystores certificates can be retrieved throughApigee APIs, and resource files can be retrieved using the UI or Apigee API as documented inManaging resources.

  • Kept under the same security as our production customer services, with restricted access using tools equal to or identical to those used in securing Apigee Cloud platform.
Analytics
  • Apigee stores backup data for EU analytics regions in the EU region.
  • Apigee stores backup data for North and South America analytics regions in the US.

  • Apigee stores backup data for the following analytics regions in multi-regional Asia:

    • asia-east1
    • asia-south1
    • asia-northeast1
    • australia-southeast1

    For more information, seeGoogle Cloud Regions.

Runtime data

  • Apigee stores data in the same region as the runtime instance.

    For more information, seeGoogle Cloud Regions.

  • If you have Apigee provisioned in more than one region, then Apigee stores the backup data in each of those regions.
Note: Runtime plane backup is applicable to Apigee organizations only.
Developer Portal (Integrated Portal only)
  • Backed up and replicated across multiple regions.
  • Apigee stores backup data in the US multi-region.

For more information, seeQuick start: Build your portal in real time.

Google tests the process of restoring from backup data as part of our operational excellence.This testing occurs quarterly and the results are included in the audit reports that we share(such as the SOC).

Google recommends that you have a full software development lifecycle (SDLC) plan for yourApigee projects. In addition to backup and restoration plans, this also includes plans forversioning, change management, and authorization.

Note: Apigee does not support restoration of individual organizationdata caused by accidental deletion by the customer.
