Backing Up and Restoring VPS
CloudBlue Commerce allows you to back up/restore your VPS through the CloudBlue Commerce control panel.
CloudBlue Commerce provides two services for VPS backups creation: manual and scheduled. In contrast to manual backups, which you can perform at any time using CloudBlue Commerce control panel, scheduled backups are created automatically. Scheduled VPS backups, in their turn, are divided into two types:
- Daily – Backup of a VPS is performed on a daily basis.
- Weekly – Backup of a VPS is performed on a weekly basis, that is, once a week on the day selected by you.
In CloudBlue Commerce, Daily and Weekly scheduled backups are different services, and you can have only one of them in your subscription. To change "Scheduled VPS Backup – Daily" service to "Scheduled VPS Backup – Weekly" (or vice versa), you can use one of the following ways:
- Upgrade your subscription to the one that contains the desired service (if allowed by provider).
- Migrate to another Service Plan that contains the desired service.
When subscribing to the Scheduled VPS Backup service, you are given an additional disk space to store backups, so your current Webspace will not be affected. You can also view statistics on the scheduled VPS backups disk space usage to monitor how much of the space is available and how much is used at the moment (see the Monitoring VPS Resource Usage section).
In case your subscription includes both the Manual VPS Backup and Scheduled VPS Backups services, the management of manual and scheduled backups is performed separately in different sections of your CloudBlue Commerce CCP.
For information on operations you can perform with manual and scheduled VPS backups, refer to the Managing VPS Backups section.
For information on how to configure settings for scheduled Virtuozzo containers backups, refer to the Configuring Scheduled VPS Backups Settings section.
