For each paid (non-free tier) Stardog Cloud instance, we perform a daily backup, and we retain 30 days worth of backups. ---

Currently, cloud backups are only accessible by our ops team. If you needed a backup restored to your Stardog Cloud Essentials instance, you would need to contact tech support.
