Time Travel and Fail-safe data is maintained independently for a secondary database and is not replicated from the primary database.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Not known

Answer: (A)

Time Travel and Fail-safe are retention features tied to a database's storage and are managed per database. When a secondary database is created through replication, it is treated as a separate copy with its own retention settings. The secondary’s Time Travel window and its Fail-safe period are not copied from the primary; they’re independent and governed by the secondary database’s own configuration and Snowflake’s system management. That’s why the statement is true: Time Travel and Fail-safe data are maintained independently for the secondary database and are not replicated from the primary.
