Every Managed VPS package includes automatic daily backups of your server. Stored securely in an external data centre — restorable via our client portal.
We create a daily backup of every Managed VPS — automatically, without any additional setup or subscription. Backups are retained for 7 days on a separate server in an external data centre. Restorable via our client portal.
Through our client portal you can easily view, restore or download backups — a single file, a database or your entire server.
Want more control? Installatron creates targeted application backups at the moment of updates or changes. JetBackup enables you and your users to restore backups independently down to file level, directly from the control panel on your server.
What is included as standard with every Managed VPS package — regardless of which package you choose.
Below you can read which backup features are available as standard with your Managed VPS and how to use them.
Every night our system automatically creates a full backup of your server — all data, files and databases included. Nothing to configure or keep track of — it runs fully automatically.
Backups are stored on a separate server in a different data centre. Should something go wrong with your primary server, your data remains safe and a recent restore point is always available.
Something gone wrong? Via the client portal you select exactly what to restore — a single file, a specific database or a complete account — without touching the rest of your server.
Prefer to review the backup locally or restore it manually in your own environment? We prepare a packaged backup for you so you can download it directly whenever it suits you.
By default we create one backup per day. Need shorter restore points? With Manage Plus or Pro you increase the frequency to 2 or 4 times per day — or get in touch if you need a custom solution.
Alongside our automatic backups you can also create manual backups via DirectAdmin. Extend this with Installatron or JetBackup and you get a full restore interface directly in your control panel.
The same daily foundation — with differences in control panel, management layer and extensibility.
