Overview
You may enable backups through the control panel, by navigating to the Backups tab and clicking the slider.
Restoring a backup will cause full loss of your existing data. Backups are made on a best-effort basis, meaning that we cannot guarantee the longevity or reliability of them. Typically, we take backups once a day and keep up to 5 days worth of backups. This is not a replacement for taking your own, individual backups.
Backups can take multiple hours to restore since they are pulled from cold storage. It is recommended to take a backup of your VPS prior to restoration.
Backups are enabled by default on servers created after September 29th, 2026. On older servers, you need to enable them yourself. It is additionally not possible to take your own backups ahead of the daily backup schedule, backups are only taken once a day. If you need a copy of your server on demand, or kept for longer than 5 days, see Snapshots.
