## Key Takeaways

* **Database Export** - Export your database smoothly with point-in-time recovery, ensuring your project's data is always safeguarded for when you need it most.

## Export Your Database Smoothly With Point-In-Time Recovery

With the introduction of the Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) feature on the new "Backups" page, managing backups of your cloud projects database has never been more straightforward. This new feature empowers you with the flexibility to export backups of your Umbraco database directly from Azure on your terms. Perfect for those moments right before a significant update, during troubleshooting, or when you need to revert recent changes.

All previous backups are neatly organized for ease of access. From this list, you can opt to download the .bacpac file or delete any backup. Accessing the new page requires admin permission on the cloud project.

![Backup Database Example](https://3739769070-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPzKn70Piyd2fd5UkYZGf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-86bf601ab9a05bd95960799d8b9ca996bcc66592%2FBackupDbExample.gif?alt=media)

Looking ahead, we're enhancing this feature to include the ability to import and swap database backups, which will add another layer of flexibility to your data management strategy. We're also planning to broaden the backup solution to encompass media files, aiming for a comprehensive approach that ensures every aspect of your project is securely backed up.

So next time you're up for a big change, go to the "Backups" page and with a few clicks, see your project's data. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements designed to make your experience even better.

You can read more about how to use the feature in the [Backup documentation](/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/set-up-your-project/databases/backups.md#backup-on-umbraco-cloud).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/release-notes/archive/overview-2024/2024-03-releasenotes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
