tip
We strongly recommend creating backups of your server. Save your precious data, or else you will start from scratch!

Backups Creation
Backups are copies of the server's primary disk. Any additional storage that may be attached, will not be included in the backup.
You have 2 slots available to store your backups.
warning
We recommend that you power down your server before creating a backup to ensure data consistency on the disk.
The Budget VPS lineup does not have the Backup feature available.
- To create a backup manually, simply click "Create Backup Now", it will automatically create a backup file and store it in one of your two slots available.
You can also create a Backup Schedule, this way you never forget!
- Click "Schedule" and proceed to select the frequency of when backups are created (None, Daily, Weekly), then click "Update".
info
Please remember that you are responsible for keeping these files somewhere safe (Github, Google Drive, etc)
- When a backup is created, a new section will appear that displays the backup's date & time, size, status, and the Restore or Delete options.
- As backups are created, the current backup files in the slots will be replaced as you go.
