Console Create a server

Daily backups, and snapshots whenever you take them.

Backups run every day in a window you choose and keep the last seven. Snapshots are taken when you ask, and kept until you delete them.

Features

Two kinds of copy, for two jobs.

  • Daily backups

    Turn on backups and the server’s disk is copied every day, in a window you choose. The last seven copies are kept, and the oldest drops each day.

  • Snapshots on demand

    Take a snapshot of a server or a volume before an upgrade or a migration. A snapshot stays in the project until you delete it.

  • Restore or clone

    Roll a server back to a backup or a snapshot, or create another server from it and compare the two.

  • Consistent copies

    Each copy is taken from a point-in-time view of the disk. With the guest agent installed, filesystems are frozen first.

  • Copy to another region

    Copy a snapshot to any region to move a server there, or to keep one copy apart from the original.

  • Export as an image

    Download any snapshot as a qcow2 or raw image, and boot it on any KVM host, here or elsewhere.

Pricing

Snapshots by the GB they hold.

A snapshot costs by the data it holds, not by the size of the disk. Empty blocks are neither stored nor counted.

Daily backups of a server cost 20% of its price, for all seven copies, whatever they hold.

Code

Snapshot before you change things.

Turn on backups once, and take a snapshot with lc before each upgrade. A backup or a snapshot restores with one command.

  • A backup window that suits your traffic.
  • Snapshots named for the change they guard.
  • Restore in place, or to another server.
shell
$ lc server backup enable web-1 --window 02:00-04:00
Backups on for web-1, daily between 02:00 and 04:00 UTC
$ lc server snapshot web-1 --name before-php-8.4
Snapshot before-php-8.4 of web-1 ... done
$ lc server rebuild web-1 --from-snapshot before-php-8.4
Restoring web-1 from before-php-8.4 ... running

Questions

Questions about backups and snapshots.

FAQ
How does a backup differ from a snapshot?
A backup is taken every day on its own, and the oldest of seven is dropped each day. A snapshot is taken when you ask and stays until you delete it. Backups cost 20% of the server’s price, and snapshots cost by the GB.
What happens to backups when I delete a server?
They are deleted with the server, all seven of them. To keep a copy, take a snapshot first, or turn a backup into a snapshot, which outlives the server.
Are databases backed up the same way?
Managed PostgreSQL and MySQL include their own daily backups and point-in-time recovery in the plan price. For a database on a server, take a dump first, or install the guest agent.

Start with one server and one command.

Choose a region and a plan, and add an SSH key. The server answers SSH 38 seconds after the command, at the price on its spec sheet.
