Disaster Recovery

Document Authoring works hand in hand with the existing Edge Delivery disaster recovery strategy. There are a few notable differences listed below. Most of these differences are features designed to support self-service recovery in the event of something unforeseen happening.

Versions

Unlike Edge Delivery Services, DA does keep versions of your documents and sheets. These can be made adhoc, but DA will also make a version automatically on publish. In the event of a disaster, versions can be restored.

Trash

When a user deletes a file, DA will make a timestamped entry in the /.trash folder of a site. This allows anyone with privileges to the folder to restore their content.

Restore from preview or publish

Because DA's document structure is nearly identical to the structure delivered to your visitors, you can also restore from aem.page or aem.live at any time. Simply use https://da.live/apps/import.
