    Cloud VPS Backups

    Yes, you can create snapshots and backups from the Cloud Control Panel. You can restore from these snapshots and backups at any time.

    Legacy OpenVZ Backups

    For legacy OpenVZ VPS instances, RamNode does not provide built-in backup functionality through SolusVM. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups.

    Backup Recommendations

    • Use automated backup solutions like rsync, duplicity, or borg
    • Store backups off-site on separate infrastructure
    • Test your backup restoration process regularly
    • Consider using cloud storage services for backup storage

    Important Note

    As of July 12, 2014, RamNode no longer takes backups of client VPS data. We highly recommend that you maintain your own regular backups to prevent data loss.
