Daily backups and single-file restore in the panel

Your server is backed up automatically every night, and the last 7 days of backups are kept. Daily backups are included in the price, so you don't need to set anything up or pay extra.

Where do you see your backups?

In the panel, open the Management tab of your server and click Backups. The list shows the date and size of each backup.

Restoring a single file

If you delete a file by mistake, you don't have to restore the whole server. Click the Recover files from it icon next to the backup you want. You can browse the folders and download the file, or take a whole folder as an archive. Opening the contents of a backup can take a few seconds.

Restoring the whole server

If you need to, you can restore an entire backup. This replaces the whole current disk, and everything created after the backup was taken is lost. That is why you are asked to type the server name to confirm. The server shuts down first, then the backup is restored, and you can't reach the server while this happens. If you have newer files, download them first.

Which one should you use?

• If you deleted a file or folder by mistake, use single-file restore.
• If the server is broken or you made a big mistake, restore the whole server.

Good to know

• You can't go back to a backup older than 7 days.
• A backup doesn't mean your data can never be lost. Keep a copy of your most important data yourself, somewhere else.
