5. Backup
If you need to frequently backup, ABVPS offers automatic backup as an option on compute instances. Backups are essential for mission-critical systems, and the Vultr backup system adds data-protection with one easy-to-manage feature. This article details some of the highlights of using Vultr automatic backups with your cloud servers.Overview
- Backups are stored in the same datacenter as the original instance on a separate, fault-tolerant storage system.
- Automatic backups can be configured to run daily, every other day, weekly, or monthly.
- The time of day, day of week/month that the backup occurs is configurable.
- You can only restore snapshots of the entire server, not individual files.
- Your two most recent backups are stored by abvps. Older backups are removed after each scheduled interval.
- Backups include the VPS active file system. Backups do not include attached block storage volumes.
Pricing
An instance with automatic backups enabled will have a 20% higher base monthly/hourly fee.
Configuring Backups
Automatic backup settings are managed through the Client Area→My Products & Services→Product Details→Manage Product. Once you log into your account, visit the server's management area and click on the "Backups" tab.
Limitations
Automatic backups take regular snapshots of your active file system. Since we do not stop your server to take a snapshot, booting from a backup is similar to rebooting after a non-graceful restart of your server.
While modern file systems and databases handle this scenario extremely well, you may want to take additional measures to guarantee a consistent state of your data when running very active and write-intensive database-type systems. For example, with MySQL you can setup a cron to run mysqldump to separate directory on the local file system.
