# What is fail-safe? What are its advantages

Fail-safe is additional data protection provided for data in


permanent tables which is recoverable by snowflake support. This
is a non-configurable 7-day period.

Advantage:

It is a data backup of last resort in case you want to recover data


after the time travel period has expired
# How will you measure how much of data from your
tables is in fail safe and time travel?

We should go to the
SNOWFLAKE.ACCOUNT_USAGE.TABLE_STORAGE_METRICS view to
understand the amount of data in fail-safe storage. The field
FAILSAFE_BYTES is the field that we need to look at.
If we want to know the time travel bytes then we should go to the
field
TIME_TRAVEL_BYTES
# Do transient and temporary tables have time-
travel?

Transient and temporary tables do have time travel, they can be


configured to a maximum of 1 day.
Thank you!
