Snowflake offers a default 7-day period during which historical data can be retrieved as a fail-safe feature. Following the expiration of the Time Travel data retention period, the fail-safe default period begins. Data recovery through fail-safe is performed under best-effort conditions, and only after all other recovery options have been exhausted. Snowflake may use it to recover data that has been lost or damaged due to extreme operational failures. It may take several hours to several days for Fail-safe to complete data recovery.
