Cold recovery points are point-in-time copies of backup data older than 15, 30, 45, or 60 days. These recovery points are stored in the Amazon Glacier Deep Archive. To restore data from cold recovery points, data needs to be first retrieved from Amazon Glacier Deep Archive before a restore can be triggered. At the time of restoration, data from the cold tier is retrieved, moved temporarily to the warm tier, and then restored. Once you click Restore and initiate the restoration process, the data retrieval from the cold tier and its restore from the warm tier happen automatically. Warmed up data is deleted from the warm tier after 10 days.
