Backup policies and services provided

[Anonymous]

I am aware that Marketo provides the ability to restore an instance from a backup, but had a few questions I could not locate answers to within other community posts that I wanted to ask here:

1. Can support provide a backup to me (in the case that I do not wish to perform a full restore)? If so, instead of providing an entire instance backup, can the data be filtered based on a set of criteria and be restricted exclusively lead data? Also, how far back and how often are backups retained?
2. Where can I locate more information regarding backup policies & corresponding services that Marketo support provides in lieu of disaster recovery?

Thanks!

My understanding of the backup (after trying to initiate one) is that 1) you can't choose what is restored/only restore part of it, it has to be the entire thing. Timewise: my system was only backed up for 3 months, but it might differ depending on how large/small your instance is. 

I'd put in a support ticket to get additional information since a lot of this is dependent upon what was in your contract when you signed up.

Thanks Kristen. Unfortunately, that was my suspicion on partial vs. full backup possibility as well. I'll go ahead & follow up as you suggested with support.
