# How to resolve Sprinto check for Oracle Cloud ATP Database Backup enabling

### About

Sprinto check: ATP database backup should be enabled

Oracle Cloud Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) provides a fully managed database service that is highly available, secure, and scalable. Enabling backups for your ATP database is essential for data protection, disaster recovery, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

### Purpose

The purpose of enabling backups on Oracle Cloud ATP database is to ensure data availability, integrity, and recoverability. This feature helps you:

1. Data Protection: Enable backups to safeguard your critical data against accidental deletion, corruption, or loss due to system failures or disasters.
2. Disaster Recovery: Create backups to facilitate quick recovery in the event of data corruption, hardware failures, or other unforeseen incidents, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
3. Compliance Requirements: Meet regulatory and compliance requirements by implementing a robust backup strategy that includes regular backups and retention policies for your ATP database.

Enabling backups for your Oracle Cloud ATP database provides peace of mind, knowing that your data is securely backed up and can be restored quickly in case of emergencies.

### How to resolve

By default, all the ATP databases created on Oracle Cloud has automatic backup enabled with backup retention set to 60 days. If required, you can set the backup retention period from 1 to 60 days.
