What is Backups?

Backups is an add-on that you can buy for your VPS in oneHome. If you have the Backups addon, we will automatically create a full backup of your VPS every day, including its configuration and all data. Each backup is stored for four days. You can restore a backup at any time in your oneHome dashboard.

What is the difference between snapshots and backups?

By creating a snapshot manually in your VPS dashboard, you can capture your Cloud Server’s state at a specific point of time in case you need to revert to it in case of issues. The snapshot is only stored for 24 hours, making it suitable for short-term backup of your VPS before major changes. Read more about snapshots in our guide:
