- **Automate Your Backups** – configure pgBackRest backups to run on a scheduled basis and support simple restores.
- **Provide Point-in-Time Recovery** – enables users to roll back the cluster to a specific time, transaction id, or recovery point.
- **Automate node recovery** - use the self-healing capability to automatically recover from a failure of a single Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL Cluster node.
