Backups

Use backup features to create VPS copies, review available backups, and configure recurring backup routines.

Where to find backup features​

On the service page, under Service Management, you will usually find these options:

  • Backups
  • Backup Collection
  • Backup Jobs

Backups​

Use Backups to review the backups already available for the VPS and, when the action is enabled, create a new manual backup.

The list may show information such as:

  • date
  • format
  • size
  • protection indicator

Backup Collection​

Use Backup Collection when you want to review a consolidated view of available backups.

This page usually shows at least:

  • date
  • size
  • VM name

If you are looking for a specific backup for recovery, this view can be the fastest way to locate it.

tip

This view can show you all your backups related to similar services.

Backup Jobs​

Use Backup Jobs to schedule automatic backups.

This area may include fields such as:

  • start time
  • day of the week
  • compression type
  • backup mode
  • email notification
info

The Start Time is set in UTC (GMT-0).

Difference between manual and scheduled backups​

  • use Backups for one-off actions
  • use Backup Jobs for recurring routines
  • use Backup Collection to locate backups in a consolidated list

What to check before relying on backups​

  • whether the service shows a backup file limit in Server Information
  • whether an active schedule exists in Backup Jobs
  • whether recent backups appear in the list
  • whether the backup size makes sense for your VPS

Best practices​

  • keep a simple routine for reviewing backups
  • regularly validate that the scheduled routine is still active
  • before major changes, consider creating a manual backup

When to contact support​

Open a ticket if:

  • a manual backup does not start
  • expected backups do not appear in the list
  • the schedule does not run as expected
