This page contains information on Backing up or restoring of a VPS
Why backup a VPS?
Voyager performs daily backups of all VPS servers each night during the early morning, however in addition to this you may want to backup or take a snapshot of the VPS yourself at a certain time, for example just prior to making a major change. This would allow you to revert the entire server to the previous state if your changes need to be reversed for some reason.
Backing up a VPS in Virtuozzo(CloudServer)
All VPS customers are able to manually backup their VPS at any time using their Virtuozzo Control Panel.
To access your VPS backups area, login to your Virtuozzo Control Panel, the details for which are included in your initial VPS provisioning email.
Once logged in, click on "Project". Then enter the project where your server is. From there you can select "Backups" and either start a new back or schedule a time for all backups to run.
You can have up to 7 full backups stored at any one time. If you currently have less than 7 backups stored, you will be able to click on "New Backup", and then "Backup" to begin backing up the server - depending on the size of the VPS, the time taken may vary but you can click on "Details" to ensure it has completed successfully.
Restoring a VPS in Virtuozzo
If you wish to restore your VPS to a specific time/date, from the Maintenance page just tick the particular backup you wish to revert to, and click "Restore Virtual Environment", then confirm that you wish to Restore. Again, depending on the size of the VPS this will involve a short period of downtime as the server is restored from the backup and then started.
