+Couchbase Server 8.1 introduces several new features for the xref:backup:backup.adoc[Backup Service].
+
+* The new continuous backup feature supplements traditional periodic backups by frequently backing up changes to Magma buckets.
+This backup can limit the loss of data updates that occur between full and incremental backups.
+In addition to backing up data, it also backs up timestamps of when the data was updated.
+These timestamps let you perform point-in-time recovery (PITR) to restore the Magma bucket's data to the state it was in at a specific moment.
+See xref:learn:services-and-indexes/services/continuous-backup.adoc[] for more information.

 === Performing an Unsafe Failover
 
+CAUTION: If you have 1 or more buckets using continuous backup, you must stop the Couchbase Server process on the node before performing an unsafe failover on it.
+Not stopping the Couchbase Server process could result in data inconsistencies that can cause issues with the continuous backup.
+See xref:learn:services-and-indexes/services/continuous-backup.adoc[] for more information.
+
 In Couchbase Server 7.0 or a later version, metadata is managed by a _consensus protocol_; which achieves strong consistency by _synchronously_ replicating metadata to a majority of the nodes before considering it committed.
 (This is described in xref:learn:clusters-and-availability/metadata-management.adoc[Metadata Management].)
 The metadata so managed includes _topology information_.
