Backup is a key part of keeping any VPS project secure. Data loss can happen at any time — due to hardware failure, human error, hacks, malware, or even software updates. That’s why it’s critical to set up a reliable backup system in advance.
In this section, you’ll find detailed guides on setting up automated backups, using snapshots, recovering your VPS after failures, and leveraging tools like rsync and cron for regular file and database copying.
What VPS Backup Includes
- Automated file and database backups;
- VM-level snapshots via hypervisors like KVM, Proxmox, and others;
- System recovery scripts to minimize downtime;
- Remote storage backups (FTP, SFTP, Rsync, Cloud);
- Cron schedules and backup integrity checks.
