It’s vital that you take care of your data. To help administrators ensure data security F2H offers multiple types of backups. Instance backups can be taken on demand using Snapshots or on a regular basis using a backup schedule. Included in all NVMe VPS Plans is one Snapshot backup. To increase this backup limit purchase a backup plan. It’s then possible to take daily, weekly and monthly backups on a regular schedule and multiple Snapshots.

Instance Backups Management

To configure and manage regular backups;

Access your products and services page in your client area.
Select the VPS Instance you want to configure a backup for.
In the menu bar to the left click “Backup Jobs“.

You are now at the management area for backups that run on a schedule.

Create New Instance Backup Job

To create a new regular backup job;

Click the “+ New Job” button
Set the start time in GMT of the backup job in 24hr format. To run the job at 1AM enter 01:00

Select a Backup Mode:
1. Snapshot – Takes a backup while the server is online and is the default choice.
2. Suspend – Suspends the server and takes a backup. This mode results in downtime while the backup is taken.
3. Stop – Highest quality backup type but results in downtime.
