The Snapshot service enables you to capture the exact state of your system at any given moment, making it easy to save and restore your VPS. Snapshots are available separately for Instances and Block Storage, providing flexible options for protecting different components. Ideal for testing changes, snapshots allow you to revert to a previous setup if needed. Note that snapshots restore the entire server state or storage volume, not individual files, offering a reliable way to maintain system stability during adjustments and experimentation.

The Backup service makes it easy to create reliable backup jobs for your VPS. Stored in the same datacenter on a separate, fault-tolerant system, backups can be scheduled to run daily, weekly, or monthly at your preferred time. The latest backup is always saved, with older versions removed after each interval, ensuring an efficient and streamlined backup solution. Note that backups cover only the active file system and do not include attached block storage volumes.
