If you enabled automatic backups when buying your VPS, we snapshot the full disk once a week and store it on our dedicated backup infrastructure.

​
How it works

  • Backups run once every 7 days, automatically.
  • Each backup is a full disk snapshot — everything on your VPS, including the OS, installed software, and data.
  • Snapshots are deduplicated and compressed on our backup server, so storage doesn’t bloat over time.
  • The most recent snapshot is always kept. Older snapshots may be pruned to make room.
Backups don’t affect your VPS performance — the snapshot is taken without freezing your applications.

​
Enabling backups

You can enable backups in two ways:
  • At checkout — tick the Automatic Backups option when configuring your VPS.
  • After purchase — open the VPS detail page and toggle Backups: ON. The first backup runs within ~7 days; if you want one sooner, contact support.

​
Restoring from a backup

Restoring rolls your entire VPS back to the state it was in when the snapshot was taken — all changes made after that snapshot will be lost.
1

Open your VPS

From Dashboard → Servers, click the VPS you want to restore.
2

Pick a snapshot

In the Backups section, choose the snapshot you want to restore from.
3

Confirm

The VPS shuts down, the snapshot is restored, and the machine boots back up. It typically takes a few minutes depending on disk size.
Restoring is destructive — any data created or changed after the snapshot date will be permanently lost. Back up critical recent work manually before restoring.

​
Best practices

  • Test your restores at least once after enabling backups, so you know the flow.
  • Keep important data off the boot disk if possible — pushing to git, S3, or another off-server location protects you against the worst-case scenario.
  • Don’t rely on backups for short-term mistakes — they run weekly, so a file you delete on day 6 may not be in the latest snapshot.

​
FAQ

Backups are stored on our internal backup infrastructure and aren’t directly downloadable. If you need a copy of your data outside of our system, copy it from inside the VPS (e.g., via scp or to cloud storage) before any incident.
Weekly backups are an optional add-on at $5 / month per VPS. The add-on is billed alongside your VPS subscription on the same cycle (1, 3, or 6 months).
Backups are tied to the VPS — once you cancel, the snapshots are eventually removed. If you need to keep them, copy your data out before cancelling.
Not directly from the Dashboard yet — contact support and we’ll trigger one for you.
