Explanation

Time Travel is the Snowflake Continuous Data Protection (CDP) feature that enables access to historical data - you can query, clone, or restore data as it existed at any point within the configured retention period (up to 90 days for Enterprise edition). This makes it ideal for maintaining and recovering historical data. Fail-safe is a separate CDP layer that provides a 7-day non-configurable recovery window managed by Snowflake for disaster recovery, but it is NOT accessible to users for querying historical data. Access control and network policies are security features, not historical data maintenance features.
