How to Create, Restore, and Delete Snapshots

How to Create, Restore, and Delete Snapshots (Backups)

Viewing Snapshots

  1. Go to your server's detail page.
  2. Click the Snapshots/Backups tab.
  3. View your current snapshot count, total slots (3 free, or 30 with the premium addon), and auto-schedule status.

Creating a Snapshot

  1. In the Snapshots panel, click Take Snapshot.
  2. A manual snapshot will be queued. This runs in the background.

Restoring a Snapshot

  1. Find the snapshot you want to restore in the list.
  2. Click Restore and confirm the action.
  3. Your server will reboot and be restored to the state captured in that snapshot.

Warning: Restoring a snapshot overwrites your current server state and reboots the server.

Deleting a Snapshot

  1. Click Delete next to the snapshot and confirm.
  2. The snapshot is permanently removed.

Premium Backups ($4.95/month)

Upgrade from 3 to 30 snapshot slots with auto-scheduling by enabling the backup addon.
