How VM Backups Works

01

Activate VM Backup Service

Enable VM Backups during server deployment through the Recovery section, or activate it later from the Backups menu in your existing server panel.

02

Configure Backup Window

Select a two-hour daily window for automatic backup creation. Choose a timeframe when your server experiences minimal load.

03

Create Manual Backups

Generate on-demand backups through the management panel when you need additional recovery points. Manual backups can be created once per hour.

VM Backup Use Cases

System Recovery After Data Loss

When files are accidentally deleted or application bugs corrupt databases, backups provide recovery paths. Load any available backup copy to return your server to its exact state at that moment. The restore operation overwrites current data with backup contents.

Protected System Modifications

Before installing updates or changing configurations, generate a manual backup copy. If the modifications break functionality or introduce bugs, you can revert immediately. The backup copy captures your working state before changes occurred.

Testing Environment Resets

Development teams testing software changes benefit from quick environment resets. Run tests against one configuration, restore to a clean backup copy, then test a different configuration. Backups eliminate the need to manually rebuild testing environments.

Regulatory Data Retention

Organizations operating under compliance frameworks must often demonstrate their recovery capabilities. Seven days of rolling backups provide documented recovery points. Moreover, regulators can verify your ability to restore data from multiple points in time.

Benefits of VM Backups

Hands-Off Backup Operations

Daily backups run without requiring your action. The system handles backup copy creation at your specified time and automatically manages the seven-day rotation. You never need to remember backup tasks or manually clean up old backups.

Protected Against Primary Infrastructure Issues

Backups reside on a separate physical infrastructure from your active server. Complete failures of your primary server hardware, storage arrays, or network connections don't affect backup availability. You can restore from a backup copy even when primary systems are offline.

Multiple Recovery Time Options

The combination of daily scheduled backups and manual on-demand backups gives you recovery flexibility. Scheduled backups provide regular recovery points. Manual backups add critical points around important events or changes.

Optimized Backup Scheduling

You control when daily backups occur. Servers with overnight low-traffic periods can schedule backups then. Servers with different usage patterns can choose alternative times. Proper scheduling minimizes performance impact during backup operations.

User-Controlled Additional Backups

Manual backups give you backup control beyond the daily schedule. Generate backups before risky operations, after completing major work, or whenever you want an extra recovery point. The hourly limit prevents excessive backup copy creation while providing flexibility.

Restoration Activity Tracking

The management interface displays your restoration history. View which backups were used for restores and whether restoration operations completed successfully. Historical data helps troubleshoot failed restores or verify successful recovery operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is VM Backup Service?

VM Backup Service generates timed backups of your virtual server and stores them on a separate infrastructure. When you need to recover from data problems, you can restore your server to any saved backup copy.

How often are backups created?

The service generates one scheduled snapshot daily during your two-hour configured window. You can also create manual backups once each hour, keeping up to three manual backups total.

Where are backup copies stored?

Backups are stored on infrastructure nodes separate from your server's primary storage location. Independent storage protects backups from hardware issues that may affect your primary server.

Can I restore my server anytime?

Yes. You can restore to any available backup copy through the management interface. The interface shows all backups with their creation timestamps for easy selection.

Is API access available for managing backups?

Yes. The service provides API access for backup management. You can automate backup creation, check backup status, and trigger restore operations through API calls.
