Explanation

In Nutanix Database Service (NDB), the Time Machine (TM) feature allows restores, including Point-in-Time (PIT) restores, which require continuous log retention to replay transaction logs to a specific moment. If the option to restore data to a Point in Time is unavailable, it indicates that the current Time Machine Service Level Agreement (SLA) does not support continuous log retention. NDB SLAs are categorized (e.g., BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD), with BRONZE or higher levels required to enable PIT restore by including continuous log retention. The administrator must update the TM SLA to at least BRONZE to enable this feature, ensuring logs are retained for PIT
