# Firestore Backup and Restore

Firestore Backup and Restore is a managed Google Cloud service that automates the creation, storage, and recovery of Firestore database backups. It allows users to schedule regular backups, manage retention policies, and restore data to a specific point in time. This helps protect against data loss, corruption, or accidental deletions while ensuring compliance and business continuity.
