How do daily backups work?

You don't need to do anything for backups. Your server is backed up automatically every night and the last 7 days are kept. This is included in the price.

To see your backups

1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
2. Open the Management tab and click Backups.
3. The list shows the date and size of each backup.

Getting back a single file

If you delete a file by accident, you don't have to restore the whole server.

1. In the list, click the Recover files from it icon next to the backup you want.
2. The contents of the backup open. This may take a few seconds.
3. Browse the folders and click Download next to the file. You can also download a whole folder as an archive.

Restoring the whole server

1. Click Restore next to the backup you want.
2. Read the warning and type the server name to confirm.
3. The server shuts down first, then the backup is restored. You can't reach the server while this happens.

Careful: restoring replaces the entire current disk. All data created after the backup was taken is lost. If you have newer files, download them first.

What backups don't cover

You can't go back further than 7 days. Keep your own copy of anything really important, on your computer or somewhere else.
