Gold

This is the highest level of service, offering the most comprehensive and robust features. It often includes:

• Frequent backups (e.g., hourly)

• Long retention periods

• Cross-region replication for disaster recovery

• Highest priority in terms of support and recovery times

• Advanced security features

Silver

This is a mid-tier level of service, providing a balance between features and cost. It generally includes:

• Regular backups (e.g., daily)

• Moderate retention periods

• Optional cross-region replication

• Priority support with slightly longer recovery times

• Standard security features

Bronze

This is the basic level of service, suitable for less critical data and applications. It typically includes:

• Less frequent backups (e.g., weekly)

• Shorter retention periods

• No cross-region replication

• Standard support with longer recovery times

• Basic security features
