The cloud platform offers an option for automatic backups of your clusters. It is possible to configure periodical file system level snapshots to restore a cluster from a hard copy.
On the cluster settings section you can choose how often a backup should be taken and how many copies you want to keep.

Please also note, that if you changed the cluster setup after the copy was created, the new cluster will reset to the previous configuration.
